From a motorist's perspective, it is a bit daunting to turn left across that new two-way bike lane (I know that I proceed with maximum caution). There was an accident and some other incidents when it opened earlier this year, but things seem to have settled down. I think the bicyclists approaching from behind realize that a car signalling a left turn may not have good visibility of their approach.
