New "Diverging Diamond" Intersection Cuts Accidents by Sixty Percent - Fortune

There are a few in the US with more being planned. It seems to be a good idea as it cuts down on accidents. I do have a bit of a concern regarding confused drivers who do not know what to do when they encounter one.

A different video explaining the concept.
Actually, makes a lot of sense. Seems confusing but it makes logical sense. Better have VERY good signage for these.
