Obviously not wide enough for whatever smashed the fence on the left. Presumably its width is purely as a visibility splay for traffic turning out from Filton Road, the left turn up ahead. That is quite a busy road, leading under the M32 to Bristol Business Park and UWE's main campus. It's also used by NCN16, hence the sign you might just make out in the centre.
