In the village where I grew up, the local council or highways pandered to the ‘Pedestrian and cycling action group’ and put a cycle lane where a cycle lane wouldn’t fit. That didn’t bother them, they just separated an already narrow road with another white dashed line for the cyclists. You couldn’t pass a cyclist without going in to the other lane anyway so nothing has changed. Near the centre of the village they then separated the cyclists from vehicles with a massive line of bollards.
Photo No.1 shows the width of the road and the dashed, shared space, cycle lane, splitting the lane in half. You can see the lines under the bus.
Photo No.2 shows the start of the bollards that separate the cyclists from vehicles.
Photo No.3 shows how they narrowed the lane so much with the white line and bollards that a vehicle doesn’t even fit in the lane, so vehicles have no option but to cross the road markings.
Who the hell comes up with this sort of shite.
