Highway Code Cycle Signing

Information

What are the main cycle signs that we should know?  Most signs and markings are shown in the Highway Code, 2022 being the latest edition. 

The round blue signs relate to off-carriageway (on path) cycleways.

On-carriageway cycleways are normally shown by rectangular signs.

The numbers relate to the Department for Transport diagrams.

It is illegal to cycle on a path unless one of the following round signs is displayed. The only possible exception is in parks if the relevant by-laws permit.
