This confuses me too. Many near misses during rush hour.

Idk it seems to be very similar to when they first introduced roundabouts to my home town, everyone thought it was way more dangerous but it just took people time to adapt and was better in the end

But I guess the difference is roundabouts have rules, or you can recognize one. This is just what use to be a full lane abruptly ending and starting every other block. I’m not sure what purpose it serves because now neither drivers or bikers can continuously use it to get through town. Maybe the issue is marking, it’s just very odd and a hazard right now.
