If there is a cycleway alongside the road then I would advocate putting a restriction on cyclists using the road. 

There's a cycle lane running through the village where I live. Some householders find it a very convenient place to park their cars...

But a separate cycleway is not the same as a cycle lane.  Do they park their cars in cycleways?

Typo on my part - it's a cycle-track on the pavement with white line separating pedestrian and cycles. Householders use the cycle side for parking off the road.

Need to have it properly segregated like this http://wcc.crankfoot.xyz/facility-of-the-month/April2013.htm   Grin
