In my town in Kent, cycle lanes are only carved out of pavements, not roads. But the council doesn't maintain the combined cycle/pedestrian path at the full width: the pedestrian side is always furthest from the road and the hedges are not cut back. So we pedestrians have to walk on the bicycle side, and get abused by cyclists for doing so.
