    a) that road definitely is not with a speed limit over 50 and b) you cannot pass even a single bike here in a safe manner, in Germany for example it would be a misdemeanor to even try.

      The speed limit on that road is 70km/h. I commuted to work on it last summer. I suppose it looks a bit slimmer than it actually is. It’s perfectly possible (and legal) to pass a bike safely, or even meet cars. The latter is a tight fit and you’d of course reduce your speed appropriately.

        Well in those cases the UK highway code rule 66 says “Be aware of drivers behind you, and allow them to overtake (e.g. by moving into single file or stopping) when you feel it is safe to let them do so.”
