The solution is to discontinue the cycle lane (with an implied give
way sign where it ends) for X yards before any junction or bus stop,
to give left-turning traffic to move over to the left kerb.
No. The answer, implemented somewhat inconsistently in London and
elsewhere, is advanced stop boxes for cyclists.
Only if the rule is that you cannot overtake vehicles on the left to reach
the advance stop box if it involves you doing so in the last few yards
before the junction where you may come in conflict with vehicles which
should, by rights, be allowed to position themselves properly for turning
left.
Most of the few Advanced Stop Lines I've noticed have a short stretch of
cycle lane leading up to them on the left of the road, which should allow
cyclists to reach the front safely and legally. The DfT website also
has illustrations of an ASL with a left-turning motor lane and a central
cycle lane leading up to a full width Advanced Stop Line.
