Since we've had multiple new cycle lanes appearing around here which cross from one side of the road to the other, the crossing point is marked as shown in the image. Do these lines actually signify anything legal to the drivers (ie, do not cross unless you can exit) or are they simply a guide to show where the cycle lane continues?
Naturally the reason I ask is that as soon as congestion builds up, pretty much every vehicle I've ever seen is happy to get through the lights and then park over the cycle lane, forcing the stream of cyclists to filter through 45 degree offset traffic. This has led to several near misses that I've seen.
