About this deal

Cycle lanes are painted on the carriageway, and the surface is often coloured red or green (the chosen colour has no significance). The sign here - without the vertical white line - indicates a one way street with contraflow cycling but not in a cycle lane, The most important thing to remember is to get into the correct lane early and stay in it until the end. If a driver gets out of his or her lane before it’s safe to do so, they will be met with oncoming traffic.

Loading should also be banned in a mandatory cycle lane, although there may occasionally be special reasons why it needs to be allowed, such as off—peak loading in a 24-hour with—flow cycle lane. Any prohibition of loading, whether during or outside the hours when the lane is in force, should always be indicated with signs and markings in accordance with section 6, but without the need also to indicate a prohibition of waiting unless waiting is prohibited outside the operational period of the lane. The signs are usually large yellow rectangles with a speed limit at the bottom. The most important thing is to stay in the lane, especially if the lane is narrower than normal. Unseparated cycle lanes can help grow cycle use from a low base, but they are not a universal solution. You can push a bicycle along a road with this sign, but make sure you’re walking alongside it – anything else and you might get into trouble. Route to be used for pedal cycles only Bearing in mind that the wrong sign may be displayed - see above - or turned round by jokers - it's important to be aware of the sometimes subtle differences in signs.Contraflow bus lanes are usually located in busy city areas and are used to allow a bus the most direct route and to aid in avoiding routes that suffer from traffic congestion. I don't know anything about the history of this, unless its origins are in the time long ago when I routinely objected that one-way street TROs should have an exception for cyclists Allowing contraflow cycling can be achieved in a number of different ways which may or may not involve a cycle lane. For example an "Except Cyclists" sign under the no entry sign, a "false one way" - where motor traffic is bared from entering the street at one end, a shared bus & cycle lane etc.

If in doubt, start with the Highway Code, which provides vital road information and rules. We advise buying resources like the official DVSA handbook or the AA theory test book. They both contain official DVSA questions with answers. Revise them thoroughly—they could show up on your test. This guide explains where contraflow lanes and systems are used, including applicable road signs, beneficial for those studying and taking the theory test. Contraflow bus lane Contraflow bus lanes

The boundary of an advisory with—flow cycle lane is indicated by a hazard warning line to either diagram 1004 or 1004.1 (see para 16.9 in Chapter 5). The start of the lane must commence with diagram 1009 (regulation 4) laid diagonally across the carriageway. The taper may be much shorter than that for a mandatory with—flow cycle lane (see para 16.10 in Chapter 5). An advance upright sign is not prescribed for advisory lanes. The sign to diagram 958.1 indicates a mandatory lane, and must not be used. As a driver, you need to be aware of which direction any other person is travelling. Although contraflow cycle lanes lessens the risks of those on pedal bikes, but they are still vulnerable road users, and can only keep safe when you observe the rules and give them plenty of room, Make sure you’re familiar with the blue contraflow cycle lane sign, and always keep in mind road markings.So, even if your theory test is tomorrow, you can still make sure you get those all important marks.
