This is obviously an unsightly example, perhaps as part of a trial scheme of this filtering before it is later replaced by a more permanent installation.

The "more permanent" variant seems to be thicker (and signficantly less) bollards, as seen in Wrangelstraße..
..seems like a better / less complicated solution - although there's often much confusion at those junctions as well.

It's a very typical example of bad modal filtering. There are lots of legacy filters like this in London. I haven't seen the whole scheme (the filter in the picture is a the junction of Friedelstraße and Pflügerstraße in Berlin), but diagonal filters are generally used where there is no willingness to filter effectively, i.e. loops are left for drivers to complete, and the principles according to which filtering should be done haven't been understood. It's boring, but it doesn't matter where you go; they make the same mistakes everywhere.
