"Update mixing zones to offset crossings" in the slide above.

The mixing zone is the bike lane setup where there's like a small car left turn lane just in front of the intersection

Ehhh mixing zones are kind subpar imo. Though they are better than having the turn lane right next to the bike lane. Ideally the turn lane is far enough away from the bike lane that a driver in a turning car can look to the side and see bikes coming without using mirrors.

This is the case on some intersections on some streets but for some reason they don’t implement everywhere on new bike lanes.
