The A316 cycle lane is a joke.  I counted the number of times you have to give way between the South Circular junction and the roundabout at Richmond.  If you use the cycle lane you have to give way 23 or 24 times.  On the main carriageway you give way once at the roundabout with Sandycombe Road.  you also don't have to dodge pedestrians on the road.

What was said above about adding 30s at a junction isn't a problem for one junction, but if you do that at 10 junctions along someone's route to work it adds up very quickly.

Personally, the emphasis on segregation worries me because it's giving drivers the message that bikes don't belong on the road, and it also scares people off of cycling.  The best way to make cycling safer is to get more people doing it.  The number of cyclists on London's roads is more than double what it was 15 years ago, and if I recall correctly the number of cyclists killed and seriously injured actually is less than it was 15 years ago.  The Evening Standard is piling on every time there is an incident like this and creating a false perception of danger.

The other problem with segregation is that I don't see any likelihood of a segregated cycle lane on my route to work along Bollo Road.  There is no way to build a completely segregated infrastructure in London without demolishing it and starting again.  95% of London's roads will never be segregated.  There has to be an emphasis on sharing the use of roads and policies need to reflect this.
