There is something similar in Wokingham, but without the high poles alongside, designed to push larger traffic round the main road. However as the other direction in the road is a bus route, the width restriction only applies on one side. Drivers of larger vehicles (I mean SUVs and vans) have often been known to go through on the wrong side, much to the annoyance of a surprising number of people on social media.

I did have a bit of an online ding-dong with one driver of a large SUV who moaned that the gap was too small and she was damaging her tyres each time she used it. She wasn't happy that I suggested she just used the main road, which is about 20 seconds slower usually.
