they solve far more problems than they introduce.
It is worse for pedestrians, who now have twice as many traffic signals to wait for. It is worse for cyclists, with "gauntlet" bike lanes running between through- and right-turning lane. It is only better for cars...so hardly the "best" interchange in existence.
I think he means take a right onto the freeway on-ramp, just before the diverging part.

I live in one of the blue-ist cities in California and my city council refuses to build any housing near transit or build any bike or dedicated bus lanes.

This is why, even when you look at the underreported stats from the Netherlands, cyclists have very high rates of head injuries. They don’t wear helmets, have the gold-standard cycling infrastructure, yet crack their head open.
This is just completely wrong. Netherlands overall has half the per-capita TBI deaths as compared to the US. Now, is a higher portion of their TBI deaths bike-realated -- I mean sure, because lots and lots of cycling is done there -- and not as much car-driving. But your chances of getting your head smashed is lower overall compared to the US, even with our stupid obsession with helmets.
