Dutch-style cycling road junction in Cambridge has become so confusing that councils have now released a YouTube video tutorial explaining how to use it.

* Is a Cyclops junction opening near YOU? Please email: tips@dailymail.com *With four zebra crossings, four pedestrian islands and eight sets of traffic lights for cyclists and pedestrians, it can test even the most confident of road users.

And the city's Conservative group has blasted the Cyclops format for 'causing chaos for cyclists, pedestrians and drivers alike' and potentially leading to 'extra confusion'. Others have followed in Bury, Preston, St Helens, Trafford and Bradford - with more being built in Rochdale and Salford as well as proposals in Hull and Windsor.

However, the GCP said there have been six 'slight injury' collisions on the junction since it opened. But she adds: 'Cyclists must stop when the cycle-specific signals are red so that they do not conflict with traffic. But the Cambridge City Conservatives have raised concerns about the project, with group chairman Zachary Marsh telling MailOnline: 'This is the latest in a long line of bizarre roadworks foisted on residents by the GCP, causing chaos and confusion for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers alike.

'Protected junctions like this, which are being installed across the country, enable people of all ages and abilities to feel safe and confident choosing cycling for more of their everyday journeys. 'People like the junction because it functions as a normal crossroads for vehicles and it provides additional segregation for pedestrians and cyclists from motorised traffic to improve road safety for everyone.
