Seems odd to have a Toucan feeding a footway & not shared use path so will raise this with the council.
It depends on the traffic order that's in force. There may well have been signs at one point that were removed by people working on something else or simply stolen/vandalised. Look in the surrounding shrubbery. :) In my experience, what is unusual is a council forgetting to put them up in the first place.

Calling myself out. There's a Toucan crossing underneath Mancunian Way, has ghostbike where rider killed a few years back. I normally ride the road route on commute bike but today on mobike going much slower speeds, so used toucan.
Pedestrian called me out for not riding on road on city centre side, we'd crossed the Toucan together and I was riding as slow as he was walking. I said I'd always assumed it was shared use path as fed by Toucan crossing, but that I don't usually cross there on bike. We both looked around but found no blue person/bike circle signs to indicate this or any markings on floor.
Checking the gm cycle map later there's no cycle path marked so seems I was in the wrong.

Also calling out Brompton rider in an Evel Knievel potty helmet who bombed past on the same pavement like he was in a race... collective responsibility argument from Ped to me at that point wasn't ideal.
