Pedal Cycle Parking & Pedal Cycle Lane Reservation
Where: This sign is displayed at the entrance to or within a clearly demarcated area that is specifically reserved for pedal cycles (bicycles). It is commonly found in urban centres, school zones, university campuses, and transport interchanges, at shopping centres, parks, offices, or public facilities, along cycle lanes or cycle tracks, or within dedicated bicycle parking areas adjacent to roads or pedestrian walkways.
Purpose: The purpose of this sign is to designate an area or lane specifically for pedal cycles, either for parking or for travel. It informs cyclists that the marked area is reserved exclusively for their use, encourages safe and orderly parking of bicycles in designated zones, separates bicycle traffic from motor vehicle and pedestrian movement to improve safety, and prevents obstruction or misuse of the space by unauthorized vehicles or pedestrians. In the case of a pedal cycle parking sign, it indicates that only bicycles may be parked in that area.
Action Required by Driver: If you are riding a pedal cycle, you may enter, park, or ride in the area or lane as indicated. If you are driving a motor vehicle, motorcycle, or walking, do not enter, stop, or use this reserved area.
- Keep it clear — do not obstruct the cycle lane or parking zone; keep it clear for cyclists at all times.
- Park correctly — when parking your bicycle, use the racks or marked spaces provided and avoid blocking pathways or entrances.
