I had a similar experience in 2016 when a bus broke down on Blackfriars bridge (at the start of it, where it's still single lane)... so "logically", all the cars decided to drive up the segregated cycle lane.
I was so confused when I saw headlights coming at me. I thought I'd zoned out and joined the vehicle lane somehow.

Couple of years ago there was a tree felled on the way to work, blocking the road. Got off bike and hopped onto the pavement for a good pic, when I'm suddenly interrupted by someone hitting the horn. Turn around and a car is on the pavement, angrily gesturing at me to get out of the way and let them though.
Yes, dear reader, in the case of the road being blocked, they drove straight up onto the pavement and were pushing through peds walking along the pavement.
