Design can only do so much to ensure harmonious blend of traffic with highly disparate speeds. This accident was 100% avoidable. The driver could have been effing paying attention. The rider could have made sure nobody was coming. The signage was more than adequate. Had either party heeded their signage the accident would not have occurred.
