That's the problem tho: none of it gets enforces. If the lane is on a pavement peds ignore its existance and wander along it, if its on the road motorists ignore it and park on it. I particuarly hate cycle lanes that take you off the road and round the otuside of a rondabout, then make you give way at every exit. So I ignore the hell out of them and then you get abuse from motorists.
