A good question is: who would prosecute a cyclist for passing a sign
that said "No Entry - Except Cyclists" (in this instance it allows
access to a contra-flow solid-line cycle lane on an otherwise
one-way street). But the Cambridge city fathers seem convinced that
someone would get cross with them if they put up a sign which wasn't
in the book.

The Government won't allow such signs. Cambridge City Council would
dearly like to have some but we have been refused repeatedly. At least
one of our cycle contra flow arrangements is regarded as frowned upon
by the Government regional office.

Hang on - so how *should* such a situation be signed? For example, what
does Lloyd Baker Street look like from the Farringdon Road (or King's
Cross Road, there) end? That's a one-way street which feeds into
Farringdon Road, but which has a contraflow cycle lane up it (which is
mostly or entirely physically segregated, if that matters).

Since i've ridden up it more times than i've had hot dinners, i really
ought to know, but i tend not to pay too much attention to all that
street sign malarkey.

Don't know that street but the general rule is No Entry signs for cars
with an island to the left and a cycle lane to the left of the island with
cycle lane signs.
