A shared-lane marking placement

Dorchester Avenue at Savin Hill Avenue, Boston, August, 2014, from a Google Street View: The door zone bike lane ends and then a shared-lane marking directs bicyclists to zigzag to the right where they are exposed to right-hook and left-cross risks. A right hook occurred here on May 21, 2012.

More recently, the bike lane was extended all the way to the corner. And often vehicles park close to the corner. A large, red platform truck appears parked near the corner on several dates.
