I've tried it in all directions now. Emerging from the Trinity path/tunnel direction then heading east was the strangest, as the ped crossing is split into two signal-linked chunks, so if you're going right you're best off taking the rightmost channel of footway, which isn't as heavily shared-use-marked-up (AFAI recall - need to check footage). I saw some possibly-tourist-people (or at least non-habitual-that-bit-of-path-users) doing lots of puzzled peering-about in order to get from the west (along the road, not McKelvie Parade) to Trinity Road, who I think ended up getting off and walking during pedestrian green rather than joining the footway and cycling across as if to get to the tunnel/path.

Due to the wonders of the Apple Maps "Flyover", it's possible to see the new layout with the 'map' of the old layout superimposed.

I noticed yesterday evening that they have moved the long-standing 1 tonne yellow concrete blocks at the Waride end of the McKelvie Parade and a big "cyclists turn left" arrow has appeared at the drop kerb. Of course you have to make this slow, right-angle turn with a stream of traffic up your tail trying to force you to cycle at 30mph because the road is too narrow and busy for anyone to pass.
