Protected cycle lane next to a 30mph dual carriageway in Manchester near British Cycling's National Cycle Centre. This side road is for an event car park, quiet at times, very busy at others.
Crossing the side road has two options:
(1) move right into the space where the kerb was and cross the junction with motor vehicles who will be going straight or turning left.
(2) Go left and traverse a crossing over the entry arm of the side road where the cycle track merges back to the main road cycle lane just in front of the traffic light but behind a stop line (next to the car in the photo).
Note, I've not ridden this so I have no idea how the light timings work to keep riders safe.
