New segregated provision replacing older style hybrid path.
Note how plenty of room is given for overtaking, for car doors etc. and how cyclists are sensibly segregated from both pedestrians and motorists.
Where the path meets a side road, it takes a line such that the conflicts are reduced and cars give way to cyclists.
This is, of course, a single direction path. There is also an identical one on the other side of the road.
Note how in the video you cross a side road which has give way markings either side of it. This is to give cyclists priority over traffic emerging from the side road and over cars turning into the side road.
