Traffic calming?

Usually these are placed for traffic calming or to encourage large vehicles to not clip poles or building overhangs.

Would you ride/drive over it on this narrow lane?

Solid white, so my brain sees it as 'do not cross'. But I have no idea whether it's TSRGD compliant and enforceable.

It's nicely positioned to put a bike on the offside just prior to the Ryegate House entrance, with restricted view for any driver emerging.

Exactly.

I rode through it as the centre of the road was full of muck/debris. Currently the markings are much more worn than in the picture.

Only noticed on reviewing the video of the ride.

Yes. It's pointless paint and I would drive over it to stay further away from the driveway.

Possibly seen out of season, we must protect the cow parsley at all costs.

Have been trawling the

Traffic Signs Manual - Chapter 5 - Road Markings, and Local Transport Note 1/07 - Traffic Calming

Can't find a coloured piece of tarmac surrounded by a solid line in either of them. Pinch points or chicanes would be actual engineering and/or have cross hatching.

So local council playing with the markings again? Maybe?

You'd want to keep left there, for a better view of the driveway.
Perhaps it's supposed to stop 'squeeze throughs' rather making someone pull into that driveway to let a car pass?

Would you ride/drive over it on this narrow lane?

Yes. One would have to. What's the alternative if a bicycle/motorbike is coming the other way - stop?

Looking at it from the other direction, the road does seem to narrow slightly after the driveway, so maybe the council experts came up with a confusing bit of paint to make people slow down and think?

Oddly, if you go further to where it has a centre line, then look back, it doesn't seem to get much narrower!
