Police spotting (junction watch)

True ^

Anyway, here's an example I prepared earlier.

The cycle lane starts on the far left and then shifts to the right, via three blobs of blue paint, before continuing in between two lanes of traffic.

In this same 30-metre stretch of road that cyclists are being asked to move to the right, drivers wanting to turn left at the junction ahead are being filtered across the cycle lane. This is utter madness.

The whole situation, of course, is made worse by drivers inevitably but illegally doing 50mph.

Happily, there is a set of traffic lights (not pictured) shortly before this known accident blackspot. By jumping that red light (if the road is clear) I can comfortably make it across that 30-metre stretch and live to tell the tale.

Start from the middle, take the lane, make eye contact (if possible) with anyone who looks like they might pull across.

It's not infallible, but if you position yourself square in the middle of the lane and are aware of what is going on around you that junction is 100% fine.
