Learn about road marking for cyclists you'll see on our roads. It's important you know what to do when you see these markings or signs.
Sharing the road with cyclists
Cycle-only lanes are marked by a symbol of a cycle on the road. You must not stop in or block a cycle lane. When coming up to an intersection you must not enter a cycle lane if stationary traffic is in the way and you’ll block the cycle lane.
An advanced stop box is a green square with a white cycle symbol at the top of a controlled intersection. It’s only for cyclists and gives them a head start when the lights turn green. You should not go onto the green cycle box. You should expect cyclists to come through to the front of the queue.
You may also see this sign ahead of an intersection where a hook turn is recommended. Riders doing hook turns may cross the intersection and stop in front of you in an advanced stop box or hook turn box to wait for the light to turn green.
