The A316 is a good example of that Jonathan. Between Richmond Circus and Richmond there is a give way about every 100m or so.

If Granny is going out for a bike ride then she will deal with that (and probably have a sore neck) but the commuters are not going to bother and will take to the roads.

Different engineers design for different people.

The goal is to provide safe infrastructure for all. This will always upset the lycra brigade as their journey times will increase by a very small amount.

There are junctions and new designs where you hold the cyclists back as the ahead and left turn lanes run (no dedicated left turn lane) and then let the cyclist go without conflict.

Happy days for a guy in a suit who doesn't want to shower when he gets to work. Safe and practical. Completely ignored by lots (including me most the time) who want to get to work as fast as I can. The second group won't put up with watching a lane of traffic move in the same direction as them whilst they are sat at a red light.

Very hard to please everyone. I am in the camp of getting more people onto a bike and giving them a safe low conflict journey but I will agree this has issues with a lot of people who cycle very fast. In London though such cyclists go as quick as the traffic and its not them that are involved in so many accidents.

I can tell you for sure though that trying to eliminate the left hook conflict is one of the highest priorities in all modern cycle designs.
