Little bike symbols in the gutter (see #34312) along Crouch St have been burned off and replaced by some larger ones, in the centre of the lane.
At this point the symbols were suggesting a desire line that would bring cyclists into conflict with busses using the bus stops just beyond. That is no longer the case, but because of the loading bay on the right, cyclists using the underpass are still expected to make a sharp, unsighted turn into it.
Seems odd that the further of the bike symbols isn't facing directly ahead.
