Yes, I bike almost daily on Venice Blvd in LA, and every intersection I encounter is setup like the one discussed here, along with buses weaving in and out. A vicious battle flared up last year when the city replaced a lane of traffic on Venice with protected bike lanes (some discussion here https://la.curbed.com/2017/10/25/16528864/road-diets-los-ang...). There seems to be a marked increase in the hostility between cyclists and drivers now.
