    Also as there aren't any RUS 009 or RUS 009A signs present, can we assume that cyclists do not have to use the footpath with the white painted cycle signs?

    I'd go further: cyclist must not use the footpath with white painted bicycles on it, as they would be cycling on the pavement, an offence.

    If it's illegal to use the cycle track and they don't want us to use the bus lane, then that only leaves the main carriageways. Which is a pretty bizarre outcome given that the accident in the op appears to have occurred in the main (left-hand) carriageway.

    Signs must normally be strictly of the type provided for by ministerial regulation under section 95(2)...
