Where you see itWhere bike routes and trails cross the road

What it means

Bicycles cross or share the road here. Riders may appear from trail openings you cannot see into.

What you should do

Check mirrors and blind spots before turning across the crossing, and pass any rider wide. Bicycles are vehicles with a right to the road.

Memory trick

Where the bike sign stands, handlebars appear. Look for the helmet before the crossing, not in it.

The mistake drivers make

Turning right across a bike crossing without a shoulder check. The rider going straight has the right of way; the turning car is the one breaking the rule.
