May I introduce you to some junctions in my ward which lack the odd spare
metre you seem to be thinking of?
You don't have to have a contraflow cycle lane, and you can use 'no
motor vehicles' instead of 'no entry'. See Traffic Advisory Leaflet 06/98.
With this signing you can also have a contraflow lane without the
splitter island. But I'm convinced the way ahead is to persuade the DfT
to modify it's view about no entry except cycles.
Do they say why they don't like that possibility? Perhaps they believe
it's not safe to have such a lane.
