AIUI there has been at least one fatal accident where the cyclist
is legitimately waiting for a green light while sitting in a cycle
lane. By the placement of these lanes, the cyclist is encouraged to
filter through traffic on the wrong side. ISTM that the problem is
largely due to cycling in the gutter, alongside the traffic (esp.
where there are HGVs turning).

There was another just outside Cambridge a year or so ago. The cyclist was
in a cycle lane and a lorry turned left across her.
