I was expecting remarks on how odd it is that it’s OK if a cyclist or runner gets brained by a piece of falling rock, but not OK for a car or bus to be damaged.

I suspect it’s a matter of road access while they’re doing the work. It’s no big deal to make a few pedestrians and cyclists wait a few minutes while the workers do their stuff and then pause for a minute to let that one cyclist through or whatever, but it’s another thing to have to install an access control system for hundreds of cars that get very impatient while waiting. Easier to just ban all cars than to have them lined up for a hundred metres each way and end up taking twice as long to do the job because of all the breaks you have to take to let all the cars through.
