Anti-bike signs on Bendibuses

This would include cyclists or motorcyclists not overtaking other

one. It would include many other courtesies.
I'm not sure where the left turning vehicle is coming from behind, how a
cyclist or anyone else is supposed to do that.
Do what? A considerate bus driver wouldn't turn left onto another
vehicle that was already there. They should be booked if they do.
A considerate cyclist, OTOH, wouldn't overtake a bus on the left if,
for example, it was indicating to turn left but moving slower than the
cyclist. Arguably, it is a poor idea to overtake on the left of any
vehicle. If the bus is at a stop but unable to pull in for whatever
reason, it is particularly stupid - yet I've seen it.
