Gyratory traffic schemes, extended one - way systems etc

Except that bus is going to carry on being right up the arse of the the cyclist and try to squeeze past dangerously, because the road isn't wide enough to pass with that central reservation there

I agree that there shouldn't be a central reservation. Urban designers like central reservations because they think that they break up the expanse of tarmac and because they can stick trees and lampposts on them. However, they are definitely not a very good idea for cycling. The carriageway width in this illustrative drawing appears to be 3m, which is a distant second best to the ideal width of 4.4-4.5m. Still, it's hard to tell without seeing a proper technical drawing with all the dimensions.
