Looking at that, I wonder if
Looking at that, I wonder if they were actually just making a very bad job of reversing around the corner and cut across the ramp.
Is that like when cars are
Is that like when cars are forced to veer violently across the road by invisible cyclists?

“Traffic flows like water. Once you start stopping it up, it then moves into random directions.”Hang about – when did water start moving in ‘random directions’? I was under the impression it generally* followed the dictates of gravity.
[* Things like wicking and siphoning excepted.]
“Traffic doesn’t work like water.
“There’s been lots of literature that shows if you restrict through-traffic, then traffic just evaporates.”
So does water, if you give it long enough.

I like the way it even makes a cartoon-style hole in the wall too.
I’m glad that they weren’t arrested for a peaceful protest. In their defence, the roads aren’t “essential infrastructure” as otherwise they wouldn’t be installing bus gates on them.Sounds like a solution – just keep saying every day that you’re going to install the bus gates – these people keep coming out and lying in the road – you achieve the same effect without the actual expense of doing the installation.
Doesn’t appear to be anything
Doesn’t appear to be anything to do with money in this case – rather it’s a legal dodge. From what I can understand, the government, in it’s wisdom, has told councils in England that it’s not lawful for them use ANPR to enforce parking charges. This is an attempt to say “It’s not the council wot’s doing it – it’s this private company (which just happens to be owned by the council).”

Or both. I mean they’re not wrong that the state of Oxfordshire’s roads makes them dangerous to cyclists. It’s just a bit odd that they’ve only just noticed, given that it’s the result of them having been left to slowly rot away for the last decade or so, during most of which time the council was controlled by *checks notes* ah – the Conservatives.
