Last time I cycled down Priory Lane I had someone shout at me that I should be in the cycle lane (which is apparently what this is about). It's just fucking stupid because:
1. Cyclists aren't obliged to use the cycle lane if they don't want to
2. The cycle lane is shit and cedes priority to every road joining Priory lane from the West
3. I was doing at least 20mph
4. The lights at the North end of Priory Lane mean that you're pretty much inevitably going to have to stop once you get there anyway
Since it seems to be a regular point of conflict, a bit of guerilla signage ("Cyclists are entitled to use the road") might be useful.

Better yet would be to make Priory Lane access-only for motor vehicles. Why the fuck should Johnny 4x4 be entitled to drive his fume-spewing wagon through a deer park in the first place? If drivers weren't allowed to use it as a through route something like 99% of these conflicts wouldn't happen anymore.

Drivers always blast at cyclists on Priory Lane due to their personal Highway Code.
