Most of the controversy of the C30 cycleway has come from the placement of the cut through the bus stop platforms. There is a risk of conflict between pedestrians waiting or boarding the bus and cyclists coming down the cycleways. There is also inadequate signing to warn people waiting for the bus that the space is shared with cyclists. In addition, the bus timetable signs are placed awkwardly to the point where they become a hazard for cyclists coming down the route. To rectify this, I would change the bus stops to have islands, much like the bus stop near Kingston University on Penrhyn Road, and include a pedestrian crossing to alert people of bike traffic.
