I agree with @biscan25 - it looks like a cycle lane that people have assumed they can park on...

FWIW, my understanding is that cycle lanes with a dotted outline can be parked on; on those with a solid outline, parking is prohibited.

Looks to me like it could be two cycle lanes. (One for each direction)  The one on the pavement is marked poorly.

This is the entrance to the road which is a clearway,

No it has bikes painted in both directions on the “pavement” section, I think the white line in the road is just to narrow it so it’s clearly for one car width, otherwise is an ambiguous width of road where some would think 2 abreast is possible as shown on some old GSV images despite the white line. https://goo.gl/maps/6G3jPW7hXWZinXcE7 

You should not cross solid white lines (except maybe overtaking very slow vehicles).

Could be. I see it as sufficiently confusing as to possibly see adjudication going in favour of the motorist, especially if people are parking there every day thinking it's a bay.

We wouldn't (regulars on here or pepipoo) but we know that bays are always marked by broken white lines because we look at bays a lot.

The average driver wouldn't see the difference and could easily take this crappy white area to be a bay.

With the new keep your distance from cyclists and two way cycling in one cyclig lane its probably to keep vehicles away from the cyclists.
