Lack of education and stricter laws for drivers and cyclists is not an excuse for segregation, if money was spent on integrating and educating road users we wouldn't be having this conversation and cycling wouldn't be seen as such a negative mode of transport.
If money was put in the right place more people would be taking cycling up and it would be brilliant. Unfortunately because most of us are just going about our business day to day, integrating and being a part of traffic we don't have a voice, we are not complaining.
The people that are being heard are the people that are using poor education as an excuse for segregation, lining developers pockets who clearly don't actually give a shit about cyclists when you see the end result of these "improvements".
Now we're having this conversation on the internet about infrastructure that is meant to promote cycling and instead we are all talking about how dangerous it is.
What a misguided waste of time and money.
The Oval lane is a perfect demonstration of why I kept arguing about 'infrastructure' solutions in this thread. What a total dog's breakfast.
