I'm going on a ride weds morning with some tfl guys to talk about traffic management around roadworks/building sites. When I cycled past an hour ago the sign was still gone. Building trade more or less closes early on friday so wasn't going to hang around to see a delivery truck appear and watch what traffic management they do. Will work out which site it is from and ask what the plan they have down is, it's a good place to highlight how building sites traffic management interact with cyclists(or doesn't) and if it strikes a cord with the right people the standards and expectations could be improved.
My feelings towards it are to use the accordion style barriers to fully close the cycle lane and pavement for a few moments while they turn in. With a good team and clear enough route in it takes 30sec and is just far safer for everyone. Putting down a sign and turning across a very active cycle lane as traffic management is negligence.

I swear and nearly hit an oncoming cyclists because of that fucking victim blaming sign on the middle of the road.
I pick it up and ditch it from the road.
