Below are some simple examples of the lane width issues. These pictures show before the bus lane (BBL) and after, demonstrating the 'discretionary space' which used to allow safe access for residents and safe passage for emergency services or simple over taking and undertaking when cars are turning left or right. Most importantly it demonstrates that the space for cyclists has simply disappeared!

Before the Bus lane cyclists had lots of room - no more!!
This image demonstrates that the old lane widths gave vehicles ample room to overtake cyclists safely. Due to the narrow lane widths vehicles are now trapped behind cyclists unable to overtake. Very dangerous and off putting for cyclists, the current situation is forcing motorists to overtake unsafely as they become frustrated driving at cyclist speed.
