I ask myself this question as I battle down this road every morning. When it was just 4 lanes for all road users, you picked a lane and just went with it.
Now you either have to leave the segregated lane early and into traffic, or go right down to the end and batter up and over the segregation curb thing, again into traffic.
There was a police motorbike parked up on the last segregation right turn exit (which was blocked with a no go sign and still is) for a few weeks with a bobby always making notes on a clipboard. I asked him why it was closed and the answer was "safety for cyclists"...

I spotted that problem when I was on the bus down there.
Oh look a segregated cycle lane amazing.
Er why it it on the right?
More importantly, why is there no exit for people who want to go left or straight ahead? Why does it spit you out going east on Lambeth Road and if you are a weirdo who wants to go that way then why do you have to cross a lane of traffic to do so? The exit doesn't really take you anywhere logical.
Typical really.
