I have stopped behind so many cars along there who have ignored the parking spaced and just parked in the lane. Loads of fishermen have their lines across the path as well. That lane is seriously dangerous and needs to be demolished.

Meanwhile, over the border in England, there is this which I don't understand the point of.
You have to turn in to a side road to join it, it takes you about 100 yards along the pavement then you rejoin the road at the junction just after the crossing. Or you could just stay on the road and sail through in a few seconds.
It's been there about 15 years now and I have yet to see a cyclist use it for some reason.

With that lane, you can see a very narrow straight line that goes through the whole section. When commuting along there, I tend to just take the straightest line or avoid the path entirely and use the road. It tires me out when I have to swerve around it (much narrower than in the picture).

I dislike those things. There's something similar on a favourite run of mine through Bronllys. It is Yuckity and full of sharp nastinesses.
The 'cycle' part of a narrowed section is often full of grit and glass shards, so I ignore it and stick to the main carriageway.
There is much to be said for cycling where a road sweeper clears the surface, rather than in the margin or separate lane onto which the sweeper and other traffic often redistribute the debris.
Carry on.

[QUOTE 2393077, member: 45"]There's nothing wrong with the cut-through, so if there was only a one-sided chicane it would be fine. It's wide enough to cycle through.
It's the fact that there are two on opposite sides which is the problem.[/quote]
Never ever use them cut throughs.
1) there's likely to be debris in them
2) out of the drivers line of sight

You mean undertake?
It is an exceedingly dangerous layout as, in the eye of the motorist, it removes the cyclist from the road and then places them straight back into the traffic flow just as the point where the pinch leaves no room for both! Stupid drivers will simply drive along 'their' clear bit of road until the cyclist 'appears' and then crunch!

I agree, If using the road, cyclists should follow the motorist in stopping at the give way sign

Rode through this this afternoon and the cycle lane marking was extremely useful... it perfectly marked out the door zone of all the parked cars!
Had 2 doors swing out towards me in the space of about 200 yards, and one car seemed to vomit a small child into my path from behind a door. Interesting day on the coast

Not true but it's a mistake a lot of people make.
They forget about non-standard bikes.
I need a minimum of 1 meter to fit the recumbent trike through.
There's a "nice" cycle lane in Wellingborough that I cannot use to miss a couple of mini-roundabouts because it's to narrow.

There are worse near me. At least the little lane doesn't look covered in gravel and glass!
