People tend to drive towards what they are looking at.

You can be sure people will be looking at that thing as it passes overhead.

I think it would be a little unnerving to be driving down the road and have that thing overtake you. Especially if you want to turn.

if i'm not mistaken it says in the vid that the turning traffic lights could be made separate for the bus and cars.
