Overtaking around pedestrian islands
Discussion
Hi bit of a weird question.
Basically, is it okay to overtake and go the other side of a island?
I just ask the question, as there is a road i drive along to work, 30 limit, but is full of push bikes in the mornings. I often see cars trying to squeeze past the cyclist and island, this obviously squeezes the cyclist towards the curb. I like to give riders as much space as possible.
As long as the visibility is okay, and nothing is clearly coming as well as no pedestrians, is it okay to go the 'wrong way around' one of these islands rather than, scrubbing speed, to wait for the cyclist and then accelerating away, but to maintain progress?
For example the island centred in the google map link here. Travelling from the miniroundabout, you can clearly see the road for about 200m.

I'm probaly going to get shredded to death for asking such a question, but thanks anyway.
