While we're on the subject, as a cyclist, fuck slip lanes. If I die before my time it's going to be because a motorist took a slip lane without checking for pedestrians.
As a motorist: also, fuck slip lanes. Gee, let's add merge zones criss-crossing pedestrian crossing and bike lanes, and see if anyone notices. Yes, it increases intersection vehicle throughput, but I'm pretty sure it costs everyone some safety in exchange.
Most screwed-up permutation I've seen of this: slip-lane on a traffic circle.
Tbf, when done correctly a slip lane on a roundabout reduces the number of lanes you have to cross all at once, so long as they have a pedestrian island.
