Following up to Alec

The thing which caught me out the most was left turn lanes which have
you exiting to the right and then looping left to cross at a right
angle. It works well when you expect it but, initially, it was a shock.

Quite a few of those have been replaced by a proper junction with lights or
overpass/underpass as they have contributed to some serious accidents.

Lights etc might well be better, but those junctions are better
than waiting to turn left in the middle of the road!
