What posts are these then, would they be posts to mark out the bleeding cyclists lane from vehicles?

We have the same bleeding shit here, and like you the Hospital with the A&E dept is on the same road FFS. Ambulances struggle to get through the traffic and to add insult to injury, there are bus stops along the route  and most of those were in layby's, now they are in the road and block the road completely.

I'm surprised they did it on Broomfield Road. That was a complete shit show 25 years ago - probably even worse now  :palm: :palm:.

It's nice to know that those who design these things carefully think them through and consider the possible worst-case scenarios, isn't it?

Those stupid barriers wouldn't last 1 day in NYC, especially if they are plastic. The bike lanes there are still "open" to traffic and bus stops will block a bike lane.

Thats exactly as it used to be here as well, the stated aim is to reduce the CO2 and encourage walking or public transport. So you can be CO2 free in an EV and still have the same issues. To rub it in even more, cyclists use the lanes the wrong way, i.e., they will ride against the traffic as seen in my video, also ride on the footpath.
