National Cycle Network - some paths not very good?

[viniga]

We have something similar on Eaglesham Moor up here, cycle lanes on either side and a single track lane between them.

This is what they normally look like.

I'm sure that some people must drive between the lines, only I've never seen it (except when they're overtaking)
If the extremely worn paint is anything to go by (this was taken by streetview in 2011 and it is much worse now) , no-one ever has.

That's my local road! To be honest 80% of drivers use it like a normal road and drive with one wheel in the cycle path. I have never seen anyone wait for the painted in "passing places" to be used. I can understand the behaviour too as there are several blind summits on the road... as a driver do you stay in the middle of the road or move over to the left when approaching one... It's also very unusual and confuses the hell out of drivers who have never used it before.

I've never been up there without being on a bike so can't say how drivers normally use it, only that based on some of the passes I've experienced it might as well be a standard two-lane road.
