No , they are not obligatory or compulsory . The CTC ran a large campaign when the HCC was last used to prevent the section on cyclepathways being changed so that their use became obligatory or was de facto obligatory. Amongst other things, this would have been used by insurance companies to claim contributory negligence ( see helmets as well ) if a cycllist was in an accident and not using the facility provided for them.
I think a search on the CTC/ LCC sites should give you the answer to this
I love how the Bloomsbury path gets more counter intuitive every time they " improve " it. I always breathe a sigh of relief as I leave Camden at Cleveland street and enter Westiminster..
