  This is a huge problem in Austin. There are certain protected bike lanes that I won't use because drivers have no visibility and won't yield to cyclists anywhere near as often as they should even when the visibility is good.

  Protected intersections for bicycles are possible, and compatible with this kind of protected bike lane. http://www.protectedintersection.com/ http://www.protectedintersection.com/

    According to https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-guide/dont-give-up-at-the-intersection/ https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-guide/don..., they claim that a driver making a right turn around a curb can react to a cyclist moving at 16 feet per second approaching from behind while only being able to see about 8.2 feet to their right. Half a second is well under the average reaction time for a driver who may not be aware that the bike lane is present on the other side of parked vehicles.
