Bricklayers Arms, SE London - I don't know my road signs !

[martint235]

A "No Cycling" sign has suddenly appeared at the westbound New Kent Road entrance to the Bricklayers Arms roundabout. Anyone know anything about it? I'm a bit dubious about it's authenticity as it partly obscures a traffic light.

Email TfL about it? Gotta picture?

Isn't there also a bloody great cycle lane there as well?

God almighty.

 

[martint235]

There is a cycle lane that kind of goes around it, however I've always kept to the road as it seems easier and quicker.

I might stop and take a photo tomorrow.

You mean here to here ? If so, a pretty daft place for a No Cycling sign!

 

[martint235]

Nope sorry. I'd count that as heading East. The other side of the flyover from there. I'll try to make Streetview do what I want for a change. See if this works. If it has you can actually see the sign I'm on about. I'm fairly sure it's quite new though as I was trying to see what colour the light was behind it this morning when I noticed it.

Do you mean the bicycle in red triangle sign visible on streetview? That's not a no-cycling sign.

What is it then?

Edit: Scratch that. Just looked it up

Yes, indeed, according to the Highway Code it's a warning sign of 'cycle route ahead'.

Ok ok, I'm a prat. You can take the mickey for the next 10 minutes but then it stops. Ok?

I still think they obscure the lights though.

Some people are so unkind. I won't mock, but please do post the reply from TfL
