This must be misreported, I've checked on Google Maps & the lamposts
are on the footway not on the road.

Yes, or else cars would be always crashing into them, wouldn't they?

And a dammed nuisance they are, particularly road signs for drivers
and other pavement furniture specifically for road users. Still, we
all know who is given priority when it comes to moving from place to
place don't we?

Cyclists are road users, they need road signs too. This story illustrates
why they should NOT ride on the pavement.

In the road with the majority of their users, along with whatever
railings are worth having.
