100% bad design. From all angles.
I come from Lambeth direction and want to go towards Clapham in the evening. The entry from Kennington road onto the segregated bit ends too quickly so that if you take the corner like a normal person in traffic there is no way you will make it onto it.
100% of the time I end up in traffic with cars which I am fine about. It's also too thin.

^ yep, I think that's part of the problem, it's solved one problem, but created another.
It used to be crap going straight onto Clapham Road, where there was a big risk of being hooked by a car turning left across you onto Brixton road. That was bad road design, but also just a lot of driver impatience. There's now that problem if you want to go onto Brixton road, where you risk being swiped by cars wanting to go left. Can't necessarily blame driver impatience so much now though, the bike lane just suddenly dumps a load of cyclists onto the bit of road they're aiming for.
