I?m unconvinced by such designs seems asking for trouble and and attempting
to please everyone ie compromise the cycleway for car parking, I?m guessing
nice wide junction with no attempt to slow cars down let alone control it?

As a cyclist you don't have automatic right-of-way and are responsible to watch for idiots.
 

The two aren’t mutually exclusive certainly in uk bikes as with other forms
of transport do have the right of way, clearly the being dead right comes
into play as well.

But a junction or crossing that has restricted visibility with a nice wide
access so motorists don’t need to slow down is rather asking for trouble.
