Currid-
Agreed, rode past in the opposite direction this morning (i.e. going from Dulwich village, up Calton avenue towards Green Dale) and took a closer look. It's such a massive mess. The alignment of the road just leads to the assumption that by going right you're following the carriageway, whereas you'd actually be making a right turn across the path of oncoming traffic. No way the markings are clear enough to override that feeling. Cue massive accident.
Depressing, the whole thing took months to make and was meant to make the junction more cycle-friendly. Coupled with the wider pavements (which translate into pinch points for cyclists at the lights) and the whole thing looks like a waste of time. I don't normally moan about this kind of shit but this one baffles me.

You used to have to give way if coming down Calton Avenue and trying to enter Court Lane/Dulwich Village. Has priority now changed? If so, someone needs to tell all the car drivers who last night looked as confused as I was, especially the ones who responded to the confusion by merrily tearing across the junction at 30mph regardless.
