The stop line usually goes across only the left hand side of the
carriageway, but nobody imagines that using the right hand side of
the road gets you past a red light legally. Cyclists can cycle past a
stop line if there is a marked cycle lane which is not covered by it.


Ah, so the absence of a stop line on a cycle lane in the road means
it's OK to go ahead, but the absence of a stop line on a pavement
that is separated from the road by a kerb still means you have to
stop? Perverse.


Yep.

I'm not sure whether a shopping trolley could be classed as a
vehicle, on the grounds that it's not usually used for carrying
people on/in it - unless you count the obligatory pekinese that the
LOL/LOM always seems to carry in their trolley!


It would be a goods vehicle (even with pekinese dogs in it).

So it would need a licence to transport livestock as well.
