It probably would have worked,
if the road wasn't used as a road to bypass heavier trafficked roads, i.e.
Cheater Route. BTW, according to the video, it's a well known fact that cars regularly drive about 10-mph faster than the posted speed limit. So, is it the road design or sh*tty drivers....

Considering the stuff OP cited directly said this shouldn't be used on any street that wasn't straight, slow and not crowded, this obviously was a misapplication of the concept. I don't know if it's a good design or not, but it definitely wasn't a good design for this road.
So the funniest part of that video was when edge lane road guy was going on about the drawbacks of bike lanes including being in the door zone of the parked cars and not noticing that the advisory lanes on this street were right next to the line of parked cars on either side.
