Types of cycle routes

There are different roads, paths and cycle lanes cyclists can use.

Understanding these means you can plan your journey and know what to expect.

Mandatory cycle lane

A cycle lane on the carriageway that gives cyclists space to travel. These are not physically separated from traffic but are marked by a white line and cycle symbol.

These are mandatory and motorists should not intersect the lane.

Advisory cycle lane

A cycle lane on the carriageway that gives cyclists space to travel. These are not physically separated from traffic and are marked by a dashed white line and cycle symbol.

These are advisory and motorists can intersect the lane where appropriate.

Green Lanes

These lanes have a 15mph (miles per hour) speed limit and motorised vehicles should give priority to pedestrians, cyclists, and horses at all times.

Shared use path

A path that separates motorists from cyclists and pedestrians. Cyclists and pedestrians may or may not be separated, either with a white line or other feature.

Segregated use

A dedicated cycle track separated from general traffic by a physical barrier.
