    That bit is saying cyclists: leave main carriageway, divert down sliproad. Then when you get to the dismount sign, you get off and cross the sliproad, remount and rejoin the main carriageway.

    Yes. If you have somehow designated this as a cycle route, then that treatment of the sliproad does make sense!

    Yes, if you backtrack up the carriageway, it looks like what’s actually happening is they divert cyclists off the main road, onto the sliproad, in order then to cross the sliproad at right angles and rejoin the main carriageway.

    In a similar vein, this is genuinely part of the HWC (albeit there are no cars currently meeting the definition):

    While a self-driving vehicle is driving itself in a valid situation, you are not responsible for how it drives. You may turn your attention away from the road and you may also view content through the vehicle’s built-in infotainment apparatus, if available.

    I used to regularly encounter

    I used to regularly encounter a guy who parked (or more usually double parked) and left the engine running while he got out and queued for a coffee. Said it wasn’t good for his car to start and stop it, and that it would pollute more if he did. I pointed out that the manufacturer had designed it to work that way and had fitted it with stop/start, which he had seen fit to disable.

    I have a Faran that is very well equipped with bosses, but every one came with a bolt. Can’t say I’m that bothered about the weight or look of the unnecessary bolts, but it’s a very different sort of bike.
