Cycle lane separating from road at the junction. The cycle traffic light is several metres beyond the traffic light for cars, and the green for bikes comes a couple of seconds before the green for motor vehicles. This gives cyclists a head-start.
This provision is not very common any more as even with this, it was still possible for right turning drivers to collide with cyclists. As a result, modern design separates motor vehicles and cycles in both time and space.
However, this older provision is safe enough in this location because there is no right turn allowed for car drivers.
It will probably will be replaced in the next few years by something that looks more like #11676
