Cycling in Waterloo Region

On Columbia Street I noticed new green paint across the intersections with Phillip Street even getting turn boxes. Not sure how safe I'd feel in them - they're pretty far into the intersection. I've also never used one of them so what do I know.
King street doesn't have the green paint treatment. Or at least not yet. If I recall correctly the drawings for the protected lane pilot project included turning boxes or other lines through that intersection.

I'm confused.  If you are going straight, you are in the left hand bike lane, but if you are making a left turn, you are in the RIGHT lane?  I don't get this.

If you are turning left, you move out of the way of the bikes proceeding straight along the path.  Seems pretty straightforward.
