[@leme3503]

As a guy from Belgium with decent safe cycling integrated into our traffic, the thought of being able to switch from a bicycle lane to a car lane _as a cyclist,_ (and the bicycle specific lights therefore not counting) seems weird af. I mean... what are bike lanes for then even? Bike safety seems low over there, keep safe!

[@1ninjatiger]

Mikey corrected himself it is not a “car” lane…it is a lane for everyone. Cycle lanes are not always fit for purpose and when its not busy switching lanes can help progress. That one was a bit of a strange set up to be honest.

[@jeffbrunton3291]

There’s no car lane. There’s a lane for vehicles, including bikes. Bikes aren’t allowed on the motorways - and that wasn’t a motorway

[@zivkovicable]

@@1ninjatiger I get LeMe's point. In places with high quality, wide, well maintained, continuous bike lanes that always take the most direct route with priority at lights & junctions, it doesn't make any sense not to use them. I don't know about Belgium but in the Netherlands they are compulsory. Obviously it's not possible in the UK where the provision is so piecemeal & crap...& this is in London which is years ahead of anywhere else in the country.. .

What a great mix of interactions. Love it. Other than those horrible people.

[@shotkiev4246]

For the starting clip, you have two continuous white lines separating your cycle lane and the traffic lane, surely you can't cross that? Cars can't cross into your lane if that's how the lines are, and same with changing lanes as a vehicle, you can't cross over into a lane if there's a continuous white line separating the two. So you shouldn't have moved out there? And before you say "But how do I turn right or get across to the other side of the road", there is a right arrow at the end of that cycle lane showing you DO need to wait until the end of the cycle lane to move over. So you can't just move out of the lane just because "You wanted the green light". The red light is there for a reason, you need to stop at it. You're in THAT lane, and it's too late to move out. It's the exact same as on a slip road on a motorway, you can't cross the chevrons because you changed your mind too late. You stop at your light. I'm a cyclist too and I do it a lot, and I approve of most of your stuff, but I don't agree with this one. I understand you can use a lane of traffic, but you need to enter that lane WHEN you can to use it, not whenever you want. You left it too late. If I'm in a car, and there is a light that goes green in the lane next to me for JUST BUSES, can I just say, "I want that green light" and switch into that lane? No. I can't. Same principle for cyclists.

[@CyclingMikey]

Double white lines as per rule 129 look different to this cycle lane edge marking. Rule 129 double white lines separate lanes of traffic moving in the opposite direction from each other, and have a defined spacing and need to have cat-eyes spaced between the lines. The cycle lane edging here might look on first glance like rule 129 double white lines, but are not. They are a nonstandard cycle lane edge marking, and may be crossed by cyclists. The spacing is wrong for rule 129 double white lines, and they are between the cycle lane and the normal carriageway. Here's an ex traffic officer and now road safety consultant confirming what I've told you previously: twitter.com/simonwickers/status/1453042431180607488?s=21 As I've stated previously, these lines are just a cycle lane edging, and cyclists may change lanes across this. One comment related this cycle lane to a motorway slipway (LOL) - in that case, there would be chevrons surrounded by a solid white line. Is there any wonder I catch so many bad drivers when so many people don't know basic highway code stuff, and are having to be educated by me?

[@chrisfs150]

Shotkiev =More than mildly wrong, your insufferably incorrect. Worst of all you think your right.... There was no green light for cars /buses just a green light for that lane, which mikey correctly entered and used as per the law...

[@shotkiev4246]

@@CyclingMikey I see your point but the intentions of these markings are to stop vehicles entering this lane, even if they're wrong, it's common sense to know the intentions of these markings are to stop people from entering/leaving this lane. The comment related to the motorway slipway is not comparing the two, it's just an analogy, saying that if there are markings that are placed there with the intentions to stop you from moving over them, you can't just change your mind and move over them. I didn't say they are similar looking which is what I think you thought I meant. Fair enough, the markings are incorrect for this area, but why else would they be there? Also, you state that these are "Nonstandard cycle lane edge marking", which with a quick google search, all I'm seeing in ONE double white line, or a broken white line. I never came across two double white lines alongside each other, so this statement is wrong. I see your point of view on this, and not sure if you see my point of view on this, but if you have a problem with these markings being incorrect or not clear enough, I think you'd be better off bringing it up with the council instead of a KZbin video.

[@CyclingMikey]

@@shotkiev4246 The fact remains that cyclists are allowed to enter and leave this lane at will. Taxi drivers are also allowed to cross this line to set down passengers at the kerb. There is no lawbreaking by me there as several police officers have stated on that twitter topic I linked. If you don't like it you can take it up with the council.

[@JuergenHoppe1]

What many people simply don't understand is, even if you were in the wrong using the road while there is a cycle lane, this does not give them a legal reason to endanger a cyclist or any other road user. It is simply not their job to educate others, especially not with "revenge" close passes or similar actions. And you are right, many motorists don't know the rules. They are sitting in their 1 or 2 tone metal box and think they own the road and know everything about it.

Genuine question: At the beginning you’re in a cycle lane with double solid lines which threw me a bit when you went over them. I know a single white line means that cars must not enter the lane but of course a cyclist is allowed to go over the line into the other lanes. A double solid line is no different, correct? A cyclist can go in and out as they please?

Yes, it's perfectly legal. These markings are non-standard.

It's not even a legal setup to approved DfT standards, but I think it's to let bikes turn right from that cycle lane across the main lane, as then the main lane has a red light. Anyway, what I did was completely legal.

[@zivkovicable]

I don't see the point either. In Paris cyclists are allowed to treat red lights as a "give way" & proceed if there are no pedestrians in the way.... & the sky hasn't fallen in. Allowing cars to do the same would result in carnage, gridlock, or both.
