In the first video, at 3:52 and 4:04 https://youtu.be/Ph-xPNXLFf8?t=3m52s there seems to be a mandatory cycle lane, but only between stated times ! Needs re-painting - times no longer relevant, given hard separation! It's very messy! All that transition between different ped-mixes. At 2:20 on the 2nd video https://youtu.be/ZXAInp7q4Xo?t=2m19s the only way to know which side is for bikes, and which for peds is the 'tactile paving'! Only blind people understand it. The sign is wrong - should be (ped|bike) not (bike)!
I used that Shell petrol station to do a U turn while driving. When pulling out of it to turn left I noticed how dangerous the new cycle lane is. Really hard to see cyclists coming at the same time as looking at the actual road and then once I got out there was a bus stopped at the bus stop. Will definitely cause lots of conflicts with drivers not paying attention after filling up. Will stick to the A34 Kingsway/Birchfields road/Upper Brook Street methinks (hate driving in cities but needed to get somewhere and not be sweaty). Not looking forward to them ruining Oxford Road (fortunately I will only have to use a small part of it).
