Guide: Signs for cyclists: rights, obligations and prohibitions

The growing sign thickness on our streets also gives cyclists and e-bikers increasingly against puzzles. Here are ten traffic signs, which should know cyclists in any case.

In the recent past, many rigid traffic rules for cyclists became flexible and even some privileges are given to the environmentally friendly means of transport. For new rules, some new signs were created. Not all of them explain themselves. Here are ten specific cyclists and what it has with you.

1) Bicycle road (Traffic sign 244) A bicycle road is reserved alone to cycling. This avoids disabilities and hazards for cyclists. Bikers can even drive side by side here. Meanwhile, there are bicycle roads in many cities in Germany, which are also allowed to drive cars and motorcycles. An additional shield indicates this. However: Motorized road users are only tolerated here. Priority has the cycling, which is why motorists have to adapt to the maximum allowed 30 km / h.

2) Cyclists free (Additional signs 1022-10) The traffic sign "Cyclist free" Allows bikers to use pedestrian routes and bus traces, and to drive on one-way roads in the opposite direction. The latter is possible on Tempo 30 streets, which provide a clear traffic routing as well as sufficient space and protection room. If cyclists use walkways that they share with pedestrians, it is important to adapt the speed and do not hinder or endanger them.

3) E-bike free (Additional sign 1010-65) A comparatively young shield shows a bike with plug, which, however, ensures confusion. Because other than many believe this sign, neither Pedelecs nor the faster and declared S-Pedelecs declared as a small power rack. Rather, here is the small group of e-bikes, which are driven by hand gas instead of pedal power support.

4) Cyclists descend (Additional sign 1012-32) Unlike many perhaps suspect, you do not necessarily have to rise from the wheel at this shield. It is a bid sign. If about the bike path is blocked by a construction site, you can alternatively dodge as a cyclist on the parallel road. However, if only the dodge on the sidewalk is possible, you have to push the wheel, because cycling is on the sidewalk, apart from exceptions, not permitted.

5) Cycling routes subject to use (Traffic signs 237, 240, 241) The blue signs with white bike indicate that you have to use the bike path. The road is then taboo. But there are also exceptions, for example for closed cycling associations with more than 15 participants or with blocked or unaccepted bike paths.

6) Ban for cycling (Traffic sign 254) The red edge says unmistakable: Here you have lost nothing as a wheel and pedelec driver. These signs can be found against pedestrian zones, traffic-calmed areas, federal highways or dangerous bridges. A violation can cost 10 to 25 euros. The traffic sign does not address S-Pedelecs.

SP-X Here goes for bicycles and pedelecs

7) Traffic calm (Traffic sign 325.1) The blue sign with playing persons warles cyclists too more defensive driving. Here is special attention must be paid to pedestrians, which is why driving is only permitted at a stepped speed.

8) Tempo 30 zone (Traffic sign 274.1) In this traffic sign, the speed limit is also self-existing for cyclists, but in return for these areas the bike path use requires override. Even if a bike path is available, you can dodge the roadway for motor vehicles.

www.PD-F.DE / DAVID KOSTMANN In Tempo 30 zones, cyclists can also switch to the route

9) Permeable dead end (Traffic signs 357-50) Only since 2009 this traffic sign is used, the cyclists signals that, unlike for motor vehicles, the way does not end here. However, with hangers or recent yards, it can be tight, because occasionally further ways can be very narrow.

10) Signpost for cyclists The green directional arrows, especially in tourist regions, should enable wheels for better orientation. However, these signposts do not indicate any other way rights.
