Pro = It surely opens up more parking spaces. Pro = It's easy to get OUT of the spot. Con = It's still slightly awkward to get IN the spot (but not as much as parallel).

As someone who both drives down that road and rides down that road, I say anything to slow traffic and force drivers to be more alert is a plus. Let's face it, the on-ramp to Mopac North & South has always started at 6th & Lamar. Funny, there is some confusion at first, but it makes too much sense not to do it this way.

While I understand the theory behind it, in practice it's hard for me to imagine it working without causing a great deal of confusion. Interested to see how this goes over with the public.
