Is it just me that has the following problem with the new Oval segregation, when going southbound:
Come up Kennington Road, turn right onto Kennington Park Road and then enter the new segregated cycle lane. All nice and dandy (ish, I still think it's not wide enough and the entry is pretty sudden).
But, I then want to end up on Brixton Road, so I continue on the cycle lane until it splits at the lights and I take the left fork onto the beginning of Brixton Road. The cycle lane then finishes at the next set of lights and unceremoniously dumps you at the junction with the A202/Camberwell New Road, straight into the path of any car/motorbike wanting to turn left; i.e. straight across my path if I want to continue down Brixton Road.
I can't work out if I'm using the cycle lane wrong or if it's just a shit design...
