QuoteWith four zebra crossings, four pedestrian islands and eight sets of traffic lights for cyclists and pedestrians, it can test even the most confident of road users.
And a Dutch-style cycling road junction in Cambridge has become so confusing that councils have now released a YouTube video tutorial explaining how to use it.
The 'Cycling Optimised Protected Signals' (Cyclops) junction where Histon Road meets Gilbert Road and Warwick Road in the city has been in place for three years.
But as locals still struggle with it, the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) councils group has released the explainer ahead of a new similar junction being built nearby.
And the city's Conservative group has blasted the Cyclops format for 'causing chaos for cyclists, pedestrians and drivers alike' and potentially leading to 'extra confusion'.

The junction creates a circular route for cyclists around a crossroads for cars and is based on intersections in Holland intended to handle large numbers of cyclists.
