Traffic lights and signals

Page 110

Cycle track lights

A red light showing a figure of a cyclist means that the cyclist, e-scooter user or L1e-A e-moped driver must stop at the traffic light.

A green light showing a figure of a cyclist means the cyclist, e-scooter user or L1e-A e-moped driver may move beyond the light as long as this does not put other road users in danger.

A flashing green light or an amber light showing a figure of a cyclist means the cyclist, e-scooter user or L1e-A e-moped driver may not cross the road unless they had started crossing when there was a steady green cyclist light.

Signals by motorists and cyclists

A motorist must always signal before they change their course. This means signalling clearly and in good time before:

  • moving off,

turning right or left, changing lanes, overtaking, slowing down, or stopping.
