"Vehicular Cycling" - an Example from Switzerland

An intersection in Basel. Watch the cyclists in mixed traffic with trams, cars and motorcycles and pedestrians. Five streets hit at the intersection. Zebra crossings are around the whole intersection and give pedestrians easy chance to get along.

For cyclists it seems to be quite normal to move with cars at the intersection and turn to the left directly. The intersection has no signals. Everybody has to watch out and reduce speed. It looks absolutely easy.
