As a cyclist here in Toronto turning left is one of the hardest things. partly because you are probably going to have to cross streetcar tracks but also because the cars don’t really seem to respect you. Frequently I will cross the intersection and flip my bike 90 degrees and wait for the cross light rather than move into the left hand lane. It can be a problem though since you are usually in the way of cyclists headed straight. I saw this in Vancouver and thought it was a neat idea.
