There are similar lanes in Edinburgh and most of them are fairly
well thought out.

Not meaning to have a go, as I'm not familiar with cycling in Edinburgh,
but the closest analogy I can come up with is this.
Imagine cycling up the North Bridge from Princes Street in heavy traffic,
with all the buses. Imagine that you have to cycle in the middle of
the carriageway.

If there was such a lane on North Bridge then it would not be in the
right place, not the least because of the gradient.


Precisely. AIUI (I've not been to Blackfriars) it's like putting a cycle
lane between the left turning Princes Street traffic and the straight
ahead Leith Street traffic.
