Tried to screen grab this but it kind of messed up a bit, so I apologise for that. Appears the news site has some kind of filter thing over it trying to stop me.
The basics of this is that someone was riding a bicycle to work one morning and a police officer stopped them for legal riding. Dont know if this is a fit, will remove if not.
Yeah it'd be safer just not to have a bike lane imo.
Maybe that's something they did to reduce accidents at that specific junction.
As a Brit I don't get it at all either.
Maybe it's so bikes can get through stopped traffic to the bike area in front of the traffic lights.
That's what it looks like to me. The way it tapers off and then has a big landing pad area in the front.
That aint even the worst we have down here. Had a work colleague shoved off his bike because a pedestrian thought the old bike lane down Western Esplanade was a pavement. It was also in that same newspaper that a guy got a blackeye when someone thumped him on a shared path towards the winover roundabout
