Identification
Bus lanes & A
dvance stop boxes
• You m
ay use a ‘Bus Lane’, as long as there isn’t a ‘Bus O
nly’ sign. •
Be extra considerate of buses – the size of a bus means
bus drivers often can’t see cyclists.Vehicles turning left m
ay need to cross bus or cycle lanes. The law
states that they must give w
ay to all vehicles using the lanes. But you still need to be careful if a vehicle is turning left just ahead of you as the driver m
ay not see you, or m
ay incorrectly guess your speed.
Bus lane that can also be used by cycles, m
otorcycles and taxisBus lane that can only be used by buses
Advanced stop boxes can be used to position yourself in the
full view of traffic at intersections. W
hen the lights turn green you’ll get a head start on any turning vechicles.
Position yourself over the white diam
onds on the road to trigger the traffic lights.
Safety TipsWhen turning right or going straight
through a roundabout, ride in the m
iddle of your lane so that you are clearly seen. Indicate periodically, but above all else, m
aintain control while
cornering. Steer clear of large trucks and buses.
Sudden braking
or sw
erving are
comm
on causes of crashes in bunches. G
roup rides
work
best w
hen riders
comm
unicate hazards
and rotate
smoothly.
Riding tw
o-abreast is
legal (unless
you are
passing other
vehicles or
holding up
traffic). Riding
three-abreast is
never legal.
Courtesy goes a long way on shared
paths. Pedestrians prefer cyclists to slow
down and give them
a wide berth, just
the same as cyclists like to be treated by
motorists.
Parents - when cycling w
ith small children, be aw
are they are less visable. Ride behind them
and slightly to their right.
Safety TipsA hook turn is a handy way to turn
right at a busy intersection. It avoids the need to cross the path of m
oving traffic. Keep left and go to the head of the traffic queue com
ing from your left.
Cross the intersection when the lights
turn green.
Most cycling accidents are easily avoided – check that your
bike is well set up and from
the mom
ent you set off, stay alert for other road users, pedestrians and hazards.
Be Safe Be Seen: Bright clothes, reflective material and bike lights
make it m
uch easier for drivers to see you in low light conditions.
‘No Surprises’ policy: riding a steady line past parked cars, pot
holes or broken glass also makes it
easy for cars to give you a wide berth.
A safety margin of 1 m
etre when
passing parked cars is needed to avoid being ‘doored’.
Sharp corners catch out many riders,
especially if there’s loose grit about. Brake on the straight before each corner and release your brakes if you hit slippery patches of road.
Intersections Alm
ost half of all cycling accidents happen at intersections and other junctions, usually w
hen riders are not seen by a turning vehicle.
The more tim
e spent in a driver’s blind spots, the greater the chance they’ll turn across your path.
Look for
vehicles and
signal your
intention to turn. If you are unsure you’ve
been seen,
wait
until the
intersection is clear.
If you get to an intersection without any vehicles to trigger the
traffic lights, you can activate them by lining your bike over the
groove cut in the road or the painted white diam
onds in the green stop box on the road. That’s w
here the traffic light’s sensors are.
