I'm pretty sure that special bike crossing heading south from Wellington St gives you a green bike straight into a red light at the pedestrian crossing. I assume you're supposed to cross and then loiter in the road there until it goes green but loads of people seem to think "green bike for me! green bike for me! get out of my way!!!"
hoefla-
I really hate this junction. The bike lane isn't marked clearly at all so unsurprisingly peds often wander into it, and you get cyclists jumping the queue or sat in the bike lane so riders heading north can't get through.
I always wait once I'm at the ped crossing bit and see lots of people pushing through or grouped up right in a bus's blind spot.
Then when it turns green some eejit(s) always push(es) past you on the inside or between you and other riders.
Bah

Yeah you're spot on! It's a bit of an awkward system.

you're supposed to stop at the stop line if the light isn't green. It's pretty fucking obvious.

Backstop
Waterloo Bridge, north side turning right to join the bridge to head south. I stopped at the lights that had just turned red with about another 7 riders, only for a few seconds later another rider heading from the left gunning it for the lights barrelled up, bell blaring, DING! DING! DING! expecting the waters to part or something.
The rider was only met with the wall of pedestrians with a "what the fuck?" expression on their face, an unexpected brake lock/mini endo and me shouting "red light...DICKKKHEAAAAD..."
Everyone laughed and you looked like a top mug, good work!
