To a driver pulling out of a T-junction and not bothering to check
both ways because he "knows" the road he's joining is one-way, it may
make a significant difference to the cyclist coming from the other
side. As for example
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=featherstone+st&sll=51.524699,-0.087976&sspn=0.002497,0.007081&ie=UTF8&ll=51.526875,-0.088964&spn=0.009986,0.028324&z=15&iwloc=addr
Last time I used that road (it may have changed since) there was a
contraflow cycle lane on the section between Swallow St and City Road.
