I don't understand why they find it so difficult to create a flat curb or a straight entrance. I've brought this up a 1000 times and they don't seem to have a clue.
I opened the image in a separate tab and expanded it. I think you’re right — looks like a curb with a lip to me:

So we get a lip where bicycles are supposed to cross, but a roll curb with no lip where nobody is supposed to cross over (King St.). Genius.
Yeah, it's pretty on point that most of the curbs that cyclists are expected to ride across to access cycling infrastructure are more aggressive than most of the curbs the region has built to keep cars away from cyclists.
