I am not enthusiastic about the southbound counterflow lane that runs along / against the one way close to my home... oncoming cars can see you just fine but cars merging onto the road from your right don't even bother to check for cyclists and quite often don't even stop after seeing their is no oncoming traffic.

It is on my list of lanes to be changed and the only solution I can see is to turn it into a northbound and one way bike lane and have an alternate southbound route put in place.
