Cycle trail
The sign indicates that there is a cycle trail at or near the road.
When you see the sign
The sign indicates that a cycle route is located at or near the road. You do not need to stop or change how you are driving, but follow any arrow or distance indication if you are heading to the route, and watch out for cyclists in the area.
Rules
- The sign is a service sign indicating that a cycle route is located at or near the road.
- The sign does not require cyclists to use the route, nor does it prohibit motor vehicles from continuing along the road.
- The sign does not give cyclists priority and does not change the usual give-way rules.
- Any arrow or distance indication shows the direction or distance to the cycle route.
- The sign does not in itself mean that there is a cycle lane, shared pedestrian and cycle path, or crossing cycle traffic right at the sign.
Tips
- Look for an auxiliary sign or arrow showing where the access road to the cycle route is located.
- Reduce your speed if necessary if cyclists are travelling to or from the route near the road.
- Check your mirrors and blind spot before turning towards an access road to the route.
- Do not park in a way that blocks access to the cycle route.
Common misconceptions
- Some people think the sign marks a cycle path that cars are not allowed to use, but the sign merely provides information about a nearby service or facility.
- Some interpret the sign as a warning that cyclists cross the road right there. This does not follow from the sign alone.
- Some people think cyclists automatically have priority at the sign, but the give-way obligation is determined by the ordinary traffic rules and by other signs or road markings.

Theory test tip
In the theory test, the trap may be confusing the service sign with a mandatory sign for cyclists. The correct meaning is that a cycle route is located at or near the road.
Did you know
Sykkelløype is placed among the service signs because the sign primarily shows the way to a facility or activity, rather than regulating who may use the carriageway itself.
