I'm old enough to remember when this started here in the colonies. Heck, I'm old enough to remember the big flood and that boat thing. Anyway, starting at a few designated intersections with a plethora of signage and public service announcements about the change is a good rational approach. There may be a couple of teething problems but very few and the advantages well outweigh the problems. It will probably be viewed as a novelty at first but once people are used to it I think you'll see a ground swell of support for it. We've even advanced to left turn on red in some isolated special circumstances areas (most prevalent with one way street grids).
