So my local favourite, that I use pretty much every day, cycle infrastructure has just been upgraded by the council road marking fairies.
A whole 13 inches of reserved cycle space ( from the yellow line) protected from automotive traffic by toothpaste advert quality white paint. I cannot express how safe I feel using this state of the art cycle friendly infrastructure.
Picture in comments.

Were it not for me being a lazy and self-centred ole skinbag, I would name myself “Wolfy” (or even “Foxy”) then go out painting out them cyclist symbols and replacing them with a small pic of a motorcar or van. The wider strips of road might even get a Very Large cycle symbol; or even a “cars-forbidden” red circle with a slash through it.But would the white vans and proto-hummers confine themselves to the gutters, as we cyclists in the towns are expcted to do? I feel not; and the repainting might even stimulate Lazza Fux to come out ranting and swivelling his funny little eyes!
Would it not be possible to prosecute the “designers” of these white-line murder strips for gross dereliction of thinking or even person-slaughter? But I suppose it would take 8 years for the case to come to court, by which time there might only be vigilante-justice available, anyway, from taxi drivers and fat baldy men with sticks, dressed in cobbled-together uniforms.
Cannot even fit the cycle
Cannot even fit the cycle lane graphic in the cycle lane. Let alone an actual bicycle.
