It does increase throughput, ask any traffic engineer. It causes a bit of a logjam on the other side of the intersection but overall improves vehicle throughput. The merging has time to work itself out once the light has gone red again and no additional vehicles are coming from the ramp.
What else is new?

An animation of how traffic will flow in the area is available at https://youtu.be/NcBi0ZkBaqI.
Are you referring to the eastbound yellow car turning southbound while there is a pedestrian crossing?At 28 seconds there is a animated motorist breaking the law! Can anyone spot what they did wrong? (silly new nanny law but still a law)

As of January 1, 2016, drivers - including cyclists - must stop and yield the whole roadway at pedestrian crossovers, school crossings and other locations where there is a crossing guard.
These new rules do not apply to pedestrian crosswalks at intersections with stop signs or traffic signals, unless a school crossing guard is present.
