How do I find who is responsible for this travesty, and who to write to?

imagine cycling along at 20mph plus
and someone opens their door
Passing parked cars you should ride outside the 'door zone'
This type of cycle lane strongly suggests you ride in it and advises drivers that this is where they should expect cyclists to be.
I believe (?) its not upto current guidelines. The one in my link is now virtually worn out. I suspect the first may not be on a main road?
Much as I must agree with the stupid positioning of cycle lanes etc I don't quite get the above, ie If it's possible to do 30 mph then it's ok to do it whatever the hazards ? Consider the danger and react accordingly, if that means slowing down then so it must be, anything else is really the behavior of the stupid chav in his [probably stolen] hot hatch.There's one of these door zone bike lanes near me (link below). It's on a descent, so speeds of 30mph are easy. It's goodnight Vienna if someone opens their door on you.
