Seen from the other side of the Farringdon Road,
starting and ending on the pavement, it goes:

no entry sign - kerb down - cycle lane away - island - main lane
towards - cycle lane towards - kerb up - no entry sign

So there's "No entry" to the cycle lane away. That's a bit inconvenient!

The sign may not be in accordance with the related Traffic Regulation
Order of course, like the mandatory left turn at the South end of St
Martin's Lane where a cycle lane is provided for cyclists to turn right
towards Trafalgar Square. Clearly there should be an "Except for cycles"
plate there.

They just can't get the staff you know. :-)
