This one is surprisingly well-thought out.
The only bits I have major concern with are:
- Chiswick High Road Eastbound at Heathfield Terrace - how does one go from the carriageway on the North side to the segregated cycleway on the South side?
- Kew Bridge Southbound junction where the South Circular hits Kew Bridge - it looks from the plans that the segregated cycleway is unsegregated at that point except by paint, but this is where cars hoon it down that bit in a race to be first at the merge point on Kew Bridge... it would mean cyclists going from full segregation into the side of a fast moving carriageway on a corner.
The first concern needs some consideration.
The second could be solved with those little mini-kerbs with gaps between that can be bolted into the carriage way and help to hold traffic back from a segregated space.
Overall... this is good. I go this way daily, I would actually use it.

Not sure, it's a blue line, which means segregated, which, I assume, means independent traffic lights to avoid collisions. I assume cyclists will have their own green light. Which would be amazing.
Must be better than the CS3 section East Whitechapel to Stratford which is dire. A bus lane there would be better
