Yes! This is an idea I've always had, I even started simulating it but never finished it (of course).
It's insane to me to see a car unable to make a right turn in city traffic due to a slow pedestrian. And it's even worse that pedestrians are constantly unsafe crossing in someone's turning lane.
Taking turns will increase latency for some but I imagine it has to also increase bandwidth. With the safety benefits, seems like a no brainier at intersections that are popular for both cars and people.

Is this any more "insane" than holding up pedestrians on city streets so that cars can pass? Is it fair to assume that car driver's time is always more valuable than that of pedestrians, and thus they should always be given priority?
