Unless it's been recently changed..... the Cycle Only sign could never prohibit 'pedestrian access' because use of the sign is defined by the Department for Transports "Traffic Signs Manual (chapter 3) [1]. The DFT guidance confirms the signs can be used for routes where cycles can travel and all other vehicular traffic is prohibited. Therefore this sign must not be used to prohibit pedestrian access. The Manual also points out usefulness of a convenient footway or footpath to lure pedestrians away from this intended 'cycle only' way.
