Clear desire line here in Royal Park. South bound bikes want to go from the West path to the East path without wasted time. This line has been used so much, the junction with the inner path is eroded & now dangerous & a second desire line is forming further North, at a terminus of the East path.
Park management should seal an appropriate bike route without 90 degree turns.

Locals get used to whatever they encounter regularly. I know which humps are rough & which I can cruise over on my regular route.
Also, distracting drivers as they approach a pedestrian crossing is a really bad idea. This optical illusion will distract drivers from checking for approaching pedestrians.
