Old street "roundabout" is finished off this weekend in terms of traffic flow. It looks like an easier junction to negotiate by bike but I doubt it's optimal. TFL's obsession with "peninsularisation" doesn't feel right here. Trafalgar Square and Highbury Corner just about work as squares but who wants to hang around at Old St?
A simple junction with segregated lanes would be much more intuitive than what they've put down. This is one of the last large first generation segregation projects initiated by Johnson et al.
