Here's a classic from Union Street, Southwark, this morning. Verrrry busy cycle lane both ways at rush hour.
That bollard with the sign on does indicate the middle of the path.
I know he was delivering to a nearby shop, but there was room to park out of the way. Hilariously, as I was putting my gloves back on to ride to work, the driver came round his side of the van, and flung the rear door open into the path of a lady cyclist. She just swung round the end of it without blinking (I might have said summat) and carried on. It is very fortunate that, there was nothing coming the other way.
