Any infrastructure that violates the rules of normal movement and causes INCREASED risk is a blatant failure. Doesn't matter if it's for bikes, cars, trains, planes, boats, whatever. Requiring some traffic to turn right from the left side of other traffic going straight is a failure. A gross failure of engineering competence.
I doubt you would ever see such ridiculous design even in the Netherlands or Copenhagen.
