What to Do

Keep motor-vehicle travel out of the reserved lane and check for cyclists before crossing it where permitted.

A Detail to Remember

The arrow points to the lane covered by the sign. A bicycle-route sign alone does not reserve a lane.

Understanding Lane Use Signs

Lane-use signs work with the road markings. Match the arrow or symbol to your lane before the decision point, and choose a safe route if you cannot change lanes in time.

Artwork Variations
