Not exactly. I was proposing a single dashed line, whereas noisebeam proposed two lines, solid on the car side but dashed in the bike side, and I might like that even better. I'm still not sure it addresses the implication of cars turning right from their own lane instead of merging first, but maybe it's sufficient to address that by spelling it out in the law, as in CA. Of course, then you still need to educate both car and bike drivers that that is the expectation, but at least everyone's teaching from the same page.
