    This is the current no overtaking sign, in Ireland at least:

    Cant see the notion being adopted. A much more likely solution is for a mandatory cycle track to be installed on the bridge. It makes sense and despite contrary opinion here, it is far safer for HGV's and cyclists to be segregated rather than trying to share the road.
    Safety should be a priority but must not comproise the reasonable movement of traffic in the city. Whatever way you cut it, a cycle track at this location is the optimum solution for all concerned.

    Its hardly the optimum solution unless you want to get rid of pedestrians or are you missing the "there isn't room" point?

    If cyclists use good road positioning and HGVs pay attention then there really isn't much of a problem at all is there?

    Correct, I think the previous one is for the UK possibly?
