^ agree, the Oval lane change was crazy. At least there's an option now for those that didn't want to deal with that.
Putting cyclists left-of-left when they want to go centre-right just seems a bit facepalm.
The new controlled and protected bike lanes on the Queenstown Rd / Battersea Park roundabout follow the same theory. Go left into the bike canal and hit a red light to allow cars to exit left, meanwhile cars going straight carry on.
It's becoming a stark choice between remaining with traffic, or opting for a protected lane that stops and starts (with surprise bus-stop action in the case of Oval).
