Bus and Cycle Lane Signs
- 1/16
Buses are prohibited.: This prohibitory sign, a red circle with a bus symbol inside, indicates that buses are not permitted to enter the area or road where the sign is displayed. This sign may also include an exception plate, for example, Except for access.
The riding of pedal cycles is prohibited.: This prohibitory sign, a red circle with a bicycle symbol, indicates that the riding of pedal cycles is forbidden. According to traffic sign regulations, the use of this specific sign is not backed by any legislation.
A shared route for pedal cycles and pedestrians.: This mandatory blue sign with symbols of a pedestrian and a pedal cycle side-by-side indicates a route that is to be shared by both pedal cycles and pedestrians. Users of this route should be aware of and considerate towards each other.
A segregated track and path, where only cycles are allowed on one side and pedestrians on the other.: This circular blue sign indicates a segregated track and path, meaning it provides separate designated areas for pedal cycles and pedestrians. Users should keep to their respective sides as indicated by the symbols.
A route for use by pedal cycles only.: This mandatory blue sign with a white bicycle symbol indicates a route specifically designated for the use of pedal cycles only. Other types of vehicles, including pedestrians, are typically not permitted on this route.
A route for use by tramcars only.: This circular blue sign with a white tram symbol indicates a route that is designated exclusively for the use of tramcars. Other vehicles are typically not permitted to use this route unless otherwise specified.
A route for use by buses and tramcars.: This circular blue mandatory sign with both a bus and a tram symbol indicates a route that is designated for use by both buses and tramcars. Other vehicles are generally prohibited from using this route.
A contra-flow bus lane.: This rectangular blue sign indicates a contra-flow bus lane. This means that buses will be traveling in the opposite direction to the general flow of traffic in that specific lane.
A route recommended for pedal cycles on the main carriageway of a road.: This blue rectangular sign with a bicycle symbol indicates a route recommended for pedal cycles, specifically on the main carriageway of a road. It suggests a preferred path for cyclists within the existing road space.
The end of a designated bus lane.: This rectangular blue sign explicitly indicates the end of a dedicated bus lane. Drivers should be aware that the special regulations for the bus lane no longer apply beyond this point.
A junction ahead that leads to a designated parking place specifically for pedal cycles.: This sign informs drivers that a junction is upcoming, which will direct them to a specific parking facility reserved for pedal cycles. Drivers should be attentive to cyclists who might be turning towards this parking area.
A dedicated with-flow cycle lane.: This sign identifies a with-flow cycle lane, which is a specific lane on the roadway designated for bicycles where cyclists travel in the same direction as the general flow of traffic. This provides a clear path for cyclists.
Pedestrians must look both ways because traffic can proceed from both directions in this bus lane.: This sign indicates a bus lane where traffic, particularly buses, may approach from either direction. It serves as an essential safety reminder for pedestrians to look both ways before entering or crossing the lane.
The upcoming start of a with-flow cycle lane.: This sign acts as an advance warning, informing drivers that a dedicated with-flow cycle lane will begin shortly. This means cyclists will have a designated space traveling in the same direction as other vehicles.
A parking place exclusively for buses, active only during specified times.: This sign clearly defines a parking zone reserved solely for buses, with specific operational hours (e.g., Monday-Saturday, 8 am-7 pm) and a rule prohibiting return within 40 minutes. This helps manage bus parking and availability.
A contra-flow bus and cycle lane, meaning traffic (including buses and cycles) may approach from the right.: This sign identifies a contra-flow lane shared by buses and pedal cycles, where traffic travels in the opposite direction to the main flow.
