It’s… kind of justified: the red lane means “forbidden for cars to enter”, while the yellow slashed means “may enter, but forbidden to obstruct”.

Yeah, I realized that after posting. Still, IMO it ought to be the other way around, like the top example here.

That's a decent reference. I think, since in this case they're painting the whole "bikes only" lanes, the conflict areas should use the dashed option.

Looking now through Google Earth, I've noticed some other bad places, like where the bike lane crosses some tram rails, with no sign of any kind at all.

On the bight side... it used to be even worse. 🤷
