A cycle lane, marked by a solid white line, is in operation. What does this mean for car drivers?

While it’s in operation, other vehicles must not use this part of the carriageway except to pick up or set down passengers. At other times, when the lane isn’t in operation, you should still be aware that there may be cyclists using the lane. Give them plenty of room as you pass and allow for their movement from side to side, especially in windy weather or on a bumpy road.
