No, it's a new tool in the box where both roads are 20mph, but up to the local authorities to install where they see fit otherwise.

If you think the paint is a faff, wait until the tactile paving!

The sketch is probably about right, but always happy for other views, although the Welsh Government is surely putting out some guidance including for the tactiles, but as the minimum crossing width remains 2.4m, the tactiles will need to be this wide too.

Now, there are two "limits of the crossing" (the stripes) and it isn't clear if that relates to the stripes edge closest to the second give way line or the edge furthest.
It makes more sense to be the edge closest to the give way line because if not, that will prevent quite a few configurations.

They are 1.1m to 3m on conventional zebras, but the 1.1m minimum has been varied down to 300mm.
The 5m from the second broken give way line (dia.1003A) or stop line relates to the a distance of no more than the 5m from the limits of the crossing (the edges of the stripes)

Riverside, Cambridge. Not on a boundary, but similarly a short section of cycleway between two sections of street open to traffic. NB also protecting junction between two active routes (bridge descending to the right).

We've had them for real in Brighton since *May* 2013 when 14 floating bus stops were installed along Lewes Rd. Opened by then Roads Minister Norman Baker without much fuss (also @iandaveysussex.bsky.social)... Been working fine for over a decade & AFAIK no reported conflicts with bus passengers

but nothing has been discussed around that as far as we know.

The beacons and zig-zags were there because it predated the current rules (which this trial helped inform) and since then only a few really busy sites have beacons.
There is an argument for some kind of upright sign because when there is a crowd of people cycling, it is hard to see a crossing ahead

The raised crossing and stripes are very useful for people with visual and mobility impairments, but the hump needs to be a gentle change in level otherwise it couses an issue for some folks with non-standard cycles.
