That's better than having them stay in the travel lane up to the intersection, and then doing a hook turn across the cyclist's path. The raised curb concept isn't the best idea for that reason. Also, it would be an obstacle for cyclists, and it would collect debris pretty quickly.
I agree, and if someone clipped that extra "Curb" they would probably fall into the Traffic lane....

I really don't know what the answer is, except that just because there is a white line doesn't mean you have to ride on or even close to it...
