I'm not sure this is such a bad idea. Looking at it, the effect is to
keep cars out of the way of cyclists as they approach the chicane. It
makes the cars go over the pillow. Obviously it would be a lot better
if there wasn't a chicane in the first place. ie with the build-out
removed and the no-car-go zone with a cycle symbol on it moves into the
space freed-up.

I'd love to know how one can paint a cycle lane accidentally!

They'll probably spend just as much money removing it in the next few weeks
too. Or maybe someone could accidentally remove it for them.

more to the point, how many councils have not apologised for putting a
cycle lane in the wrong place. There must be loads going by the way
they get reported on t'internet

What sort of road-painting machine do Camden have that they can paint an
MCL 'accidentally'???

'Whoops! I slipped and now there's a mandatory cycle lane!'

Well according to an add in the local paper recently:

"Cycle lane and cycle route painters.
Due to the disability discrimination act, we need to fill our quota of
disable people. Therefore only the senile, delusional, psychotic or
otherwise totally insane may apply for this post. (politicians need
not reply)"
