Carnage, probably. Given cyclists already poor judgement of speed and compliance with Highway Code rules and guidelines.

This junction is around the corner from my work. I haven't cycled through it since it changed but I have driven through it, and I think it is a silly design. There were some problems with people trying to overtake cyclists across the junction, but, as with cycle boxes at junctions, I think this scheme encourages cyclists to weave between traffic dangerously to reach the front of the junction. I'd have much preferred a more cyclist-centred layout, such as a dedicated cycle-only crossing phase in all directions (as in the Netherlands) or shared cycle/bus lanes in all directions (as there is on one of the approach roads but which disappears before the junction).
