There's a cycleway that ends about 50 m next to that road markings. Maybe it has been painted at the wrong place. :-) (It's not uncommon that road markings or signs are misplaced or illogical. My favourite is this sign [1] places some metres in front of stairs.)

Thanks for your explanations. Could be that the authorities intended that car drivers slow down by pretending that there is a speed table (kind of a visual speed table).
