| Cycle Signs |
| CYCLE LANES | |
 |
These can be either mandatory or advisory.
Mandatory lanes are lanes approved and designed exclusively for cyclists. The road markings are distinctively solid white lines, whereas advisory cycle lanes are marked with broken white lines. On advisory lanes other road users can drive into them if necessary and may be allowed to park in them at certain times. As there is a lot of parking in cycle lanes in the Borough, consideration is being given to introducing appropriate waiting and loading restrictions where necessary. The existing red surface colour is to be changed to a green surface colour throughout the Borough, to distinguish cycle lanes from bus lanes, as part of a London wide approach |
| BUS LANE | |
 |
On Bus Lanes, cyclists are allowed to use these lanes unless signed "Bus Only". The LCN Steering Group Committee is liasing with bus companies and the London Boroughs to allow all bus lanes to be used by cyclists where appropriate. |
| SHARED USE PATH | |
 |
A shared use path is one which can be used by cyclists as well as pedestrians. On such paths, cyclists must give way to pedestrians. |
| SEGREGATED CYCLE/PEDESTRIAN FOOTWAY | |
 |
Segregated shared use path. A segregated shared use path is one which has some form of physical separation distinguishing the cyclist and pedestrian areas - usually a delineator white line, a raised white line or a kerb. |
| CYCLISTS DISMOUNT | ||
 |
Used mostly where the roads are very narrow or at roundabouts where there is insufficient width. This sign is to instruct cyclists to get off their bicycles and walk the designated path and follow the sign until it is safe to start cycling again. | |
| ADVANCED STOP LINE RESERVOIRS AT SIGNALLED JUNCTIONS | ||
|
An advanced stop line reservoir at a signalled junction is a marked and signed area, like a box in front of the stop line of traffic signals, which give cyclists a safe, visible area to wait, where they are segregated from other traffic. It allows cyclists to move ahead before other vehicles, making it safer for cyclists to turn left or right. |
