Cycle path
Mandatory signs

Cycle path

A path or lane designated for cycles; compulsory use depends on local rules.

This sign identifies a cycle path or cycle lane. Whether cyclists must use it depends on the country's rules and the route it serves.

A common European design is a blue circle with a white bicycle symbol. In the United Kingdom, cyclists are not generally required to use cycle tracks; the United States uses R3-17, a white rectangular BIKE LANE sign, for a marked cycle lane.

How it looks in each country

Official sign in each country; the code is its number in the national rules. Signs that come in two directions show the left and the right version.
