The problem with the Blackfriars superhighway at this time of year is it's at over-capacity at peak times.
The lights aren't phased to favour cyclists and you can easily find yourself forced to wait for a second green until you can clear Ludgate Circus (northbound in mornings).
That's especially frustrating when motorised traffic is given priority for much longer than cyclists at most points along the route.
When you find yourself thinking you'd prefer being on the road with the cars and lorries then something's not right.
Also what's with the diversion signs encroaching on the bike lane? They need to be moved (again).
