cycle lanes as bad as the sitcom.
Looks like an access point to a cycle track, but they omitted the turn arrow? Better than North Somerset, where they included the arrow but omitted the dropped kerb:
Especially when they direct people into prime left-hook/SMIDSY-pull-out locationCycle lanes that only go the length of a T junction are really useful.
It looks to me like they've just used a cycle lane to create a pinch point on that speed cushion.Looks like an access point to a cycle track, but they omitted the turn arrow?
Local council did just that. Then had it pointed out the lanes, at 18", weren't wide enough. Well placed! concrete bollards met your handlebars.It looks to me like they've just used a cycle lane to create a pinch point on that speed cushion.
I was told on my speed awareness course that cycle lanes were often put in just to narrow the road as a cheap traffic calming measure. I have mentioned it before on this forum but somebody said I was talking bollocks so I must've dreamt it or something.
I think it's more likely that whoever told you it was talking bollocks. Highways designers seem pretty busy so I doubt they often deliver speed awareness courses.I was told on my speed awareness course that cycle lanes were often put in just to narrow the road as a cheap traffic calming measure.

Ah, we've suffered so-called "glasphalt" in the UK too, most famously http://road.cc/content/news/179157-has-glass-asphalt-stopped-racing-odd-down-cycle-circuitOne of Melbourne's councilors replied to a thread on this topic in an Australian cycling forum a few years back, and he swore that the stuff never caused punctures, because it was carefully ground up to the point where it had no sharp edges, but he clearly didn't do much cycling in these lanes.
Search out Ovenden Way for proof then!I think it's more likely that whoever told you it was talking bollocks. Highways designers seem pretty busy so I doubt they often deliver speed awareness courses.
Corner of Great Dover Street and Globe Street, London.
Double red lines mean no stopping at any time for ANY purpose.
You get fined if you stop at double red lines, you get fined if you cross the stop line at a red light.

I live on Tixall Road and the cycle lane is absolutely ridiculous. It's covered in cars and the track goes up and down so much you are almost seasick by the end.
