Yes, seen them on a couple of those re-cycling transits, the flatbed ones with the big cage. Positioned to the left of the numberplate. I assumed it was something they could switch on when they were pulling in to pick stuff up and switch of when just driving about. Didn't notice the company the vans belonged to but they were not council vehicles.
Edit. Yes, definitely no arrow, just a copy of the red circle with a bike in it "no cycling" sign.

This reminds me - About a week ago I saw a flatbed Transit with an LED illuminated "no cycling" sign (i.e. the black bike pictogram inside a red circle). It struck me as likely to be illegal for a number of reasons.
I saw it on Dante Road where they're doing construction work as part of the general tarting up of E&C. It was a smart new looking vehicle, so I'd guess a big builder rather than a small independent contractor (can't remember livery). Its seemed odd that they'd spend money on a "safety" feature of dubious legality. Anyone else seen these?
