Check Airman:
We've got tons of those here in the US. Known as a TAA (Terminal Arrival Area)- the're used to negate the need for procedure turns. As the link shows, the course change at the IF is 90 degrees, which is typical.
Criteria changes now see revised TAA approaches where a course reversal is required for arriving from the opposite direction. It wasn't this way for a long time, but criteria now has more stringent DTA requirements.
