Dangerous Park St/Royal Pde Intersection

Welp, my first time being hit by a car. Seriously though, wtf is up with this intersection? It's so dangerous to turn right when going across Park St. Someone was blocking the bike lane, so I took a car lane before I entered the intersection. Had all my lights and gear on, and a car did a u-turn right in front of me, or into me, I should say, on the other side of the intersection.

It is fucking crazy to me that we haven't come up with a better solution to incorporating bikes into intersections

Half-accessible tram stops?

Please excuse my shitty photo but what exactly is the point of having a ramp on this side of the tram stops at Collins/Spring St when there when there's no cut-in on the kerb for disabled/bike/pram access? Is it an oversight or are they just future-proofing the stop for accessibility, like they did with the Collins/Swanston St stops?

They don't even have a pedestrian marking for pedestrians leaving this side of the stop, I always see people jogging across it because pedestrians don't have right of way here. The cars gunning it down this section of Collins have almost taken me out so many times, in both directions
