I have absolutely no idea what happened, but this junction is a classic example of the "paint is not cycle infrastructure" maxim. There is zero separation of cyclists from traffic.

And what is it you expect the authorities to do, and to what end? We've seen time and again that many cyclists avoid using designated physically separated cycle lanes. What solution do you suggest?
I reckon they could probably be regarded as classics at this stageI see @Meridian is going back to 2011 in posting edgy memes about cyclists..
There is a law already for those M roads you mentioned, they are motorways and cyclists are not allowed on them.Only if it's compulsory that people use N and M roads, when provided, between routes. If you're going to make shit laws for cyclists, you might as well make shit laws for drivers too.
