It's basically asking the police to show some common sense taking into account the cyclists and other road user's safety.
An example, there's a marked shared use cycle path out of my town, which then stops and continue as a footpath, I then use this for 70-80 metres before I turn into a small road that then takes me anywhere I'm going north or East of the town.
Otherwise, to avoid that I'd have to cross a very busy narrow A-road, cycle along it for 80 metres, then stop and right turn into the small road I need.
That would be carnage for me, because hardly any of the A-road traffic would be stopping behind me as I try and right turn.
And Tamas you really want to drastically limit your cycling amongst vehicles in the UK nowadays, it's just too dangerous; I'd recommend looking at online maps, but don't rely on the route planning, use your own judgment and then cross referencing that with the online road safety traffic density maps for guidance.
Edit:
This might be one of the goverment pages I mention, though I can't check it as am on an antiquated pc a the moment:
