It absolutely is. And about their stupid representatives on the city council that approved of this madness.
Again, under no other circumstances do we see left turns not just allowed, but mandated from anywhere but the furthest left lane(s). Nowhere else do we see through lanes that must be crossed by turning traffic. It takes a special kind of stupidity to make this happen - bicyclist appeasement stupidity.
And no, your freeway analogy does not even come close to approximating this situation. A situation where as one slows down (or even stops) to turn, one must be aware of overtaking traffic in the direction in which one is turning. Sheer insanity.
