I've experienced this. It's the light coloured curbs with new tarmac coupled with speed bumps. The curbs can look like white painted lines, that are flush with the road surface, rather than raised curbs. I decked it when they installed something similar by the Tate on embankment (they also changed the radius of a corner I've ridden for 6 years). Once it all gets a bit weathered in, with dust etc at the base of the curb, it gets easier to see what's what - but it shouldn't be this complicated...
My view on the cycled lane in the article with all that road furniture could be replaced by a painted cycle lane separated from the road with a wideish painted hatched area. Then bang some cameras in with clear signs and ticket any motorist who blocks it (like they do with yellow box junctions).
