Not really sure about this one, but if the pedestrians are required to walk into the cyclepath isn't that equivalent to saying there is no cyclepath?

Thus there needs to be the correct signage for that. It's more than just signage though, really. It's about not bothering to take care of the road/path users. If a dug hole in the road didn't have the appropriate measures I suspect car drivers would be up in arms. It's yet another example "you're on a bike, you're a second class citizen".

This applies even if there's an onroad cyclelane.

The van was at least slower than the speed limit, but then the trailer was much closer and very unexpected.

The other drivers were all a bit close, just not quite as bad. And the last far too impatient given they were stopping ahead.

Nice to leave the trolley in the remaining cyclepath to show that it's the door zone as well and to be avoided.

And both overtakes were pointless as I passed them both at the lights 200 yards later. In fact, before the last overtake the traffic ahead is visibly stopped. Someone can't read the road.

In the route ahead I caught both cars twice despite using the longer offroad cycleroute and at the last set of lights I saw them at, over a mile later, I was ahead.
