Yes, that junction is terribly designed. Drivers turning right from Gordon Sq across the track have to look for cars going the other way way, and for bikes going in both directions. Then there's no place to stop and give way to the cycle track, because they're stuck in the middle of the opposite carriageway.

Potential solutions:

• Traffic lights
  
• Ban the right turn from Gordon Sq across the cycle lanes into Gordon St
  
• Set the cycle lanes back a car's length into Gordon St
  
• Build a zebra across Gordon St next to the cycle lanes (to make motorists more aware of the need to give way..)
  
  

any others?
