On Brockley Grove, there is this single bit in the road that seems to just be there to force cars closer together (they never slow down though as it's still just wide enough for 2 cars) and no gap for bikes to go along the side instead of through the middle.

(should open google streetview)
Almost been clipped by bellends charging through it quite a number of times, I just don't understand for the need of the side bits squeezing the road smaller, it doesn't slow people down any more than just having the humps on the road.
Am I missing it's purpose?
