I just made a separate comment about this but wanted to chime in and agree; locals will learn the new traffic patterns but everyone else will be confused. This confusion can result in panic and, ultimately, accidents. I don't know if you've driven in New Jersey (South Jersey's what I'm familiar with), but it's a good example of some of these types of irregular patterns (e.g. long ramps for turn-offs). They seem to design these for a perfect world where everyone is paying 100% attention to signage (and signage is never obscured/missing/confusing itself).

One source of panic: turning left now you can be faced with 4 or 6 options of where to go, instead of two. If you just get it wrong, you're going the wrong way on a one-way lane.

  Also, give it a few years for the guiding lines to get nice and faded. Maybe some rainy weather to erase them from vision completely. This intersection would definitely get safer because I would avoid it completely.
