Surely there is never a law against breaking down. When your car dies, it dies. If the intention is to persuade people to try to get their dying vehicle as far as possible to the right (left in the UK), well, we don't need to tag for that because it is standard. If the intention is to go

OK so it is a kind of buffer to keep the motorised traffic out of the way of the bikes. Are there any circumstances under which any kind of vehicle is permitted to be in that lane (while it is not a turn lane)? That sounds too complex for highway=primary (or whatever) and cycleway=lane.
