Oh come on Diane, even you know that 'safe' configuration is a death trap. Guiding cyclists to make a last second turn across a lane is rediculous. I thought you were against having BL to the right of RTing lanes, which this is an example of.
Don't you think something similar to the red line would be a far safer line (with merges left being accompanied by looks back and left arm signals). With this merge starting further back than I diagrammed.
