There is a cycle-way the entire length of Triangle Road in both directions. In the mornings, there is a large number of motorists waiting to turn left onto Lincoln Road. Cars pull to the left of the road to form a queue, ignoring the cycleway, and leaving no space at all for cyclists. Cyclists are then forced to the right hand side of the lane, to very slowly overtake all the waiting cars. This is probably the most dangerous place for a cyclist to be. I see one solution could be to add reflective lane marking stakes near the intersection, thus preventing cars from using the cycleway. (Similar to the lane markers at the Gillies Ave on ramp).
It is my opinion that there are very few cycle ways in Auckland, and the ones we have should be there to make cycling safer, not to provide an extra lane for motorists.
