I don't assume any drivers here really understand the meaning of those markings to give way, nor are they looking for them.
Before you make assumptions, maybe a simpler explanation is that the team which does signs comes a different day from the team who does lines.
That crossing, along with Glasgow, Union, Mill, West and others will be getting PXO treatments, and some will also be raised. They painted some of the lines today, but obviously haven't installed signs yet.
Possibly, though it has been a while since they were completed. May be misdirecting a gripe generally that IHT crossings routinely get the shaft for the one major cycling route in town (e.g. - at Park, Victoria, Glasgow, etc). At least there is something there now as without direction that crossing routinely has confusion from drivers and riders about RoW along with some relatively poor sight lines on the approach.
If it is the case they are getting something better signalled like the Park St crossing at Cherry Park, that would be a very welcome improvement. Do you know which will be raised? That treatment is the kind of thing I was hoping this crossing would get and calming measures like that seem far more effective to affect driver behaviour than lines/signs (as you noted).
