Cycle lanes will only work when they are observed by all road user correctly. Ditto the Advanced Stop Line. Neither of these is ever enforced.
Little known fact: the Highway Code expressly forbids stopping or parking on a cycle track.

If cycle tracks and the ASL were actually observed, and the cycle track had it's own traffic signals it might just work.
Sadly, in many cases the cycle track/ASL does nothing more than place cyclists on the nearside of of other vehicles at a junction.This is the case on the K-Town Road and at the Clerkenwell Rd/St John St junction that has claimed at least one cyclist's life.
