The upper left corner serves two purposes: it guides drivers, and it shortens the crossing for pedestrians. Had the upper left curb been designed like the lower right one, it would guide drivers onto the LRT tracks. Since WB Victoria drivers will already theoretically be in the driving lane, turning right to go NB won't see any potential guidance issue. But if you look at the existing curb compared to the red theoretical curb in the bottom right, using the car headed SB as a reference, you add almost 10ft+ of travel for a pedestrian to cross, and you asphalt a very sharp piece of road between the curb and the LRT tracks, one which no car will ever actually drive on.
