Yea, I'm sure there is some benefit that makes traffic flow better, but it's not immediately apparent just by looking at the picture. Someone want to explain why this is better?
There are fewer conflict points (areas where one driving motion would result in a crash with another driving motion), and the crossing distance for left turns is significantly lessened so you can get more people turning left in a shorter amount of time. So less traffic backup waiting to turn. Plenty of other things too.

Correct, the idea is to get traffic flowing from a previous point to that more cars can make left hand turns without conflicting points.
