There is one of these 300 meters from my apartment.
It's not very confusing exiting the highway and turning left - just follow the lights.
It is kind of confusing exiting the highway and turning right. Right-on-red is allowed, and to make such a maneuver you have to look in strange places for traffic that might hit you. I've almost messed it up a few times. The other option is to let people honk at you while you wait for a green.
I'm curious as to what will happen when the power to the lights fails.
