This is one of the laziest excuses for bike infrastructure I’ve ever seen. It looks like it should be temporary, like they haven’t got around to adding dividers yet.
Whenever a roadway such as this is in gridlock you always see someone being the first to shoot out into the painted section which is unsafe for everyone. Then as soon as that happens you have a full line of people following.
This is why painted lines should be accompanied by proper roadway design using curbs, medians, and various other traffic calming measures. Unfortunately, the road in this picture like many is over engineered wide from the start.
