They tried this kind of bus stop setup in Montreal, QC, Canada(on Pie-IX street) and it failed. Too many accidents. I should post a video response some day. You can always check Google streetview.
Yeah, Dekimachi is definitely one of the odder concepts I've seen for a road. I used to drive it every day going to work. Using the bus lane is definitely faster, but you have to be in an agressive mood, and it sucks when you get stuck behing a bus.
That elevated bus road (that links with surface streets) is also unique to Nagoya, apparently.
OK, so I noticed some cultural differences between Nagoya and Tokyo right away. Not only is the speed limit dramatically increased, but even the people seem to walk with a shockingly fast gait. Finally, in Tokyo we don't use the same city wide funky music blaring speaker system. Interesting! :)
Is this a nice area to live? I might move there. or somewhere near there.

My house is situated on this street.
This bus lanes are reserved for buses during rush hour. Other times it is bus priority.
Have been paved in a different color line color line up and down the bus lanes are to prevent a reverse run of the race who are not familiar.

I think if you can drive in Japan without crashing you are probably the best driver in another country. Believe me.

@BlaffingDream The colored sections are the bus lanes.

@JapanScene So, if you want to avoid the red buses, you get in the gray lane, and if you want to avoid the gray buses, you get in the red lane?

All the traffic lights blink like that? That seems kinda dangerous if you happened to glance up at the light when its not on.

@Standard420247 they don't actually blink. That just how it comes out in the camera sometimes

That street should be a mandatory part for the driving test.. but you also have to be intoxicated.

White cars seem to be pretty popular in Japan. Here in Germany people go for the darker colours I guess.
