Actually they aren't - what they are doing is making one end of the
road no access to motorised vehicles. So the road itself is no longer
technically oneway, so it shouldn't need cycleway=opposite...

Doesn't seem to stop people arguing about it on the wiki, but every
single time someone has claimed that there are cycleway=opposite in
the UK it's never (AFAIK) actually held up to scrutiny.
