Strolling around the perimeter of Golden Gate Park I noticed something unusual and, what appeared to be, slightly uncomfortable: cyclists riding down the center divide of two-way vehicle traffic through an intersection. “What the heck is this?” I wondered. Then I laughed. The city had created an intersection where, on one side, the median had nice landscaping and a bike path and, on the other side, the median was just a concrete median where they ran out of the necessary width to continue the path.

Cyclists were intended to enter the path via crossing halfway in the crosswalk and riding down the center of the intersection to the opposite side where the path begins. Exiting the path cyclists where intended to cross down the center to the opposite crosswalk and cross to ether side when the light changed. Now notice to get to or from the bike path there is going to be some sort of delay because you're waiting for a phase change before you can proceed.
