32639Photo #32639That's a "No Motor Vehicles" sign, but even though that sign explicitly includes motorcycles as being banned, they still frequently take this short-cut.General sign/notice:

32638Photo #32638No Motor Vehicles. Note that there's no exceptions for access/taxis/council vehicles or police cars, and yet all these can often be seen passing this sign.

I'm not sure what the loading restriction applies to, because at the other end of this section of Turl Street is another sign with different hours.

31770Photo #31770See "video" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGqwg-8VvOo

This van driver thinks it's acceptable to block the cycle path. Technically, they completely block the path as the space on the right hand side is in the door zone (where doors inexplicably open in front of cyclists).

This photo was taken from a stopped car, waiting for traffic ahead.

31599Photo #31599The "CYCLISTS DISMOUNT" sign was removed after earlier complaints, but has reappeared. Presumably due to rightful complaints about pavement cyclists, but due to the ambiguous positioning partially on the highway, some drivers are assuming it applies to the carriageway through the roadworks.General sign/notice:

30858Photo #30858CYCLISTS DISMOUNT sign used at the 2011 Iffley Road (Oxford) roadworks, against the advice in DfT Traffic Advisory Leaflet 15/99: "Where access is permitted for motor vehicles,
"Cyclist Dismount" signs should not be used. The hazards to cyclists at roadworks are rarely great enough to justify this measure. In any case, cyclists are likely to ignore such instructions."

16433Photo #16433The route crossing the stream here is half tarmac and half cobbles and mud. Legally it's a public bridleway with motor vehicle access for the landowner to the paddocks beyond this bridge. You can see the locks on the bottom of the bollards.

Practically it's rather a nice cycleway into town from North Hinksey. Watch out for pedestrians though.
