agreed

In Australia there is a minimum width for a bike lane, which does not
include the concrete guttering. Anything less than this is not a bike
lane, whether it has a sign or not. 
The local-sign-erecting-authority should also have a warning sign for
the bridge where the allocated space is just too small.

Bike_lane=undernourished
and
bike_lane=death_trap 
are what spring to mind. I'd ride in the car lane or use another street
