Not sure whether this fits better on the silly or sensible signs thread. All I know is that you are in trouble if your fuel tank is empty!

Given that these facilities might be used by 'merry' people, surely the architects/designers could have used something that looks completely different?

If only!

It's on a guided busway which is still under construction, so no idea what the "car trap" actually is.

It's a hole that's just narrower than the wheel-span of a guided bus. Here's one on the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway:
