Cycle lane hall of shame

[palinurus]

I haven't got a ****ing clue what the arrow's for.

Opened 1945. Only 4 years older than me, though I like to think I'm in better shape - at least not having my guts ripped out ATM!

Yeah that's a pain but needed.Depending on what they are doing to it.

Streetview is handy for sharing images of bad cycle lanes.

Another great use for Streetview: I used to take photographs of potholes to put up on Fill That Hole. Not any more.

I think it's trying to warn you that you're about to be t-juntioned into the main traffic flow

This one near me is pretty dumb. It's really short, and it expects you to give way if you want to overtake cars in the parking bay.

I would be completely confused by that one - what with the arrow pointing one direction and the give way looking as if you were going to cycle across the road.

palinurus - I thought I'd seen some funny/daft/stupid cycle "lanes" but that one really takes the biscuit. What the hell...???

I'm not sure what to make of this needless red stripe!

One bollard just isn't enough...

A useless waste of space of a lane along beside Ocean Terminal in Leith:

which ends where you see it here:

A classic - I remember coming across this one shortly after Ocean Terminal was opened ... was looking at the new buildings and just spotted the wee obstacle in time

Christ! There's 13 of 'em.

Whoever did that took a bung from the bollard supplier.

Hows this, sent to me by a friend, only wish I knew exactly where it is--- Not that I would use it!!

I woundn't mind a trip to Volendam, I don't think I'd use it either ;-)

How about this one, I have never under stood the point of the cycle lane leading into Lady Lawson Street, note the cars are legally parked (if you follow Streetview they disappear, but you can see where the cycle lane ends)...
