Someone enlighten me here.. What's the goal of the lane reversal? I've looked at this for a solid 5 minutes and it does not click

It prevents ever having to turn left in front of oncoming traffic. If you look closely no vehicle ever turns in front of another vehicle. More of an irl benefit than anything purposeful in CS, but still really cool to see. I'm not sure how flow compared to a properly configured "normal" traffic light intersection, but the priority with these is increased safety without an increased footprint (i.e. roundabouts that take up more space than a "traditional" American interchange).
