There's a stretch of road here (UT Highway 193) that is even worse.
1) it's a 50 mph road, 2 lanes each direction, with additional right turn lanes at the intersections.
2) There's a parallel MUP about 30 feet off to the side that crosses at the crosswalks.
3) There's a ~10 foot wall between the MUP and road so drivers can't even see any bikes approaching the intersection until they are within ~30 feet of the turn.

Really REALLY dumb design for bikes. There is a wide 'parking lane' on either side, which is where I ride instead of the MUP. You can see the shadow from the wall in the view below.
