When they put in the CS along that stretch it changed the traffic dynamic. Previously, the majority of mopeds/motorcycles would filter on the right, as I generally would, but the introduction of the 1.5m cycle lane meant that this moved cars/vans/buses further to the right, making filtering more difficult due to the volume of oncoming traffic. Now, far more motorcyclists/mopeds filter on the left as I generally do (albeit, not usually in the CS). The Jeffry's Road junction highlighted in the photograph is a problem, but I'd also be careful of the garage a hundred metres further back as vehicles occasionally turn into the forecourt.
