Yes, people coming from the right turning left through the median:

You start at (1) and cross the first two lanes because that is clear.
Then you wait at (2), because cars are coming through the right.
Car coming from (3) is going to turn left, but now has to wait because
traffic is coming from his right, so he waits at (4).
If the intersection is sufficiently narrow, both of you block each
others view and traffic stacks up. Smart intersections will have a bit
of a merge lane here so you can get out of each others view.
