Temporary traffic management unsafe for cyclists

New roadworks on Gasson St northbound at Wordsworth St force cyclists from cycle lane into general traffic lane with no warning for cyclists or drivers. On approach, there are “Lane closed” signs on both sides of Gasson St showing that the left lane is closed. Surprisingly, there are no signs warning drivers that cyclists will be forced into lane 1 and then into lane 2 (all at the same time as drivers in lane 1 are trying to merge into lane 2 at 50kph).
