That doesn't actually look noticably crazier than traffic at some times and places in NYC. The main difference is NYC has more traffic lights and human traffic enforcement officers -- but only 4 wheeled vehicles are highly likely to obey those -- pedestrians mostly don't and 2 wheeled vehicles vary, so you can certainly see reminiscent scenes here. I think I might actually prefer to traverse that intersection than say, biking in a hurry from 14th to 57th on 8th ave. during evening rush hour. Most of the conflict looks like just the usual "through traffic versus left turners" which happens anywhere there aren't signals with separate left turn phases
