And the vast majority of these in the UK, if not all of them, are not one-way streets at all. They're a normal street with a bollard or kerb or fire-gate with a small section of cycle path, or a small section of oneway (quite possibly less than a couple of metres, or even just a no entry sign) with an opposite_lane cycleway to allow bikes in both directions.
