Cyclist Anthony Robson found himself stopped in his tracks by this road sign.
The warning to motorists of a lane reduction further ahead was placed in the cycle lane at London Road at the point it becomes Dalziel Place for a short distance.
He said:
"Not my regular route, but one I know well - the sign warns drivers that ahead two lanes will be going down to one... By blocking the cyclists' lane... And no, I checked, there isn't an equivalent sign 100 yards back warning cyclists.
"Initially I'd intended on just getting the shot to show the paucity of thought when it comes to cycling facilities in the Uk but then I hauled the sign into a gap beside the wheelie bin.
"It 'aint a good lane, truth be told, running beside parked cars, with a poor surface. But it's there, and I'm damn well going to assert it's right to be so."
Is this a commonplace problem or a one-off? Let us know if you see more via the comments below, or with a picture to our Flickr group.
