Car parked in cycle lane on Bristol Road
This car parked in the cycle lane is parking legally. This is an advisory cycle lane with no double yellow lines to ban parking. In this situation, cycle users are safer ignoring the cycle lane completely and riding in the general traffic lane to avoid the danger of car doors opening in their path. It could be argued that a cycle lane like this is worse than having nothing at all.
