Cyclists dismount?

So what does the piece of paper below the two signs say....?

It looks like a planning notice. I didn't read it, in fact I didn't
even notice it at the time.

I spoke to the owner of the house opposite, who happened to be outside
when I took the photo. He told me that the road is actually two-way for
all traffic (he could turn in either direction out of his drive, which
was beyond the sign) and that cyclists were allowed to ride on but that
cars aren't allowed to enter the road from that end.

There were several drives along this stretch of road and no one-way
signs, anyway.

That one's easy. 'There is a cycle route here, but you can't use it.'

We are about to ban cyclists from this road. If you wish to object
you will be ignored.

The last sentence is unwritten, but it is still there.

There should be a "cyclists exempt" oblong sign underneath to make cycle
access legal, otherwise mr plod might just book you for cycling through it!

We have a councillor in Cambridge who insists such signs (No entry
except for cyclists) are illegal and that they should be no motor
vehicle signs instead. Which, since motorists ignore anyway the
council won't use.

He's right, I think. According to TSRGD, no-entry sign is diagram
616, and the only allowed exception plates are "Except buses" and
"Except local buses".

The 'Except cycles' plate can only go on one-way, vehicular
traffic must turn ahead, no turn and no-through-road signs.

The sign shows a car. Obviously this is the council indicating which
way car drivers (and motorcyclists) should drive:-)
