Perhaps the city should install three sets of traffic lights: one for cars in the left lane, one for cars in the right lane, and another for bicycles, with the latter two lights being synced with the pedestrian signals.
That way, the pedestrians get their defined time to walk across the road, the bike gets a defined time to go straight or turn, the car in the right lane gets a defined time to go straight or turn right*, and the car in the left lane gets a defined time to go straight.
Lots of lights to be sure, but then everyone would be able to know exactly who has the right to travel when.
* With the idea being that the bicycle light signal would turn red prior to the light signal governing traffic in the right lane so as to allow cars turning right to do so without unintentionally smoking a biker.
