One could consider something similar for the circle drive at the Saskatoon airport.... It takes some getting use to, but after that it is actually quite effective.
Holy —! What a cluster f___!! The Victoria airport traffic situation looks like a grade 12 science project gone bad. You shouldn't have to watch a 4 minute video before venturing out on the road. The animated video shows an aweful lot of weaving and heading in completely unintuitive directions to eventually get where you are going. I imagine it is marked very well but given the weaving and yielding and the short amounts of time you have to make turns you likely don't have much time to be gawking around at direction signs.
