lethal?

potentially, yes.

Street?
No, pavement.

And a dammed nuisance they are, particularly road signs for drivers
and other pavement furniture specifically for road users. Still, we
all know who is given priority when it comes to moving from place to
place don't we?

Cyclists are road users, they need road signs too.  This story illustrates
why they should NOT ride on the pavement.

So when a car collides with a lamp-post, it must have been travelling
along the pavement then?

But probably not travelling along the pavement on purpose.
