"Tegelijk groen" indicates that cyclists have their own green phase at these traffic lights and that they're allowed to travel in any direction on a green - including diagonal, which is demonstrated in the video. Its is less obvious that ... [more]
Due to extensive road works, some roads in Assen can't currently be driven down. This style of temporary road sign shows which. However, despite the inconvenience to drivers, it has been ensured that cyclists can continue to use those route ... [more]
The Tegelijk Groen sign tells you that all the green cycle lights will go green at once and you can cross in any direction (even diagonally). If you watch the video you'll see how this leads directly to a newly upgraded road. Note how th ... [more]
Sign indicating a "Bicycle Road". The "local traffic only" was changed in 2008 to "cars and motorbikes free" (see #14573). This route into town from the west is mixed use (residents and bicycles) with priority for the cycle road and specia ... [more]
A clear message on a sign in Florida a little way North of Daytona Beach which a number of British motorists could do with taking on board.

Little Venice - sign reads 'Cyclists Caution ... Please slow down and dismount if necessary'.
Even on minor roads in the French Alps, new plastic kilometre markers show altitudes, for the benefit of cyclists.
Cycle path leaving the village of Oosterstreek. This is the end of the 30 km/h speed limit (18 mph) normal for villages and the start of the 60 km/h limit between villages (35 mph). In both the 30 and 60 km/h speed limit zones there i ... [more]
Entering the village of Noordwolde on a minor road. This is where I cycled to in order to take part in an international basket-making event. The (permanent) sign reads "Welcome to the basket-making village of the Netherlands, Noordwolde". ... [more]
Dijon pedestrian zone - cyclists allowed at walking pace; on market days cyclists must dismount.
"Beware oncoming cyclists" sign in Kingston Street. Hopefully this (currently needed) signage will soon be able to be removed as people become more used to the principle of two-way cycling in one-way streets, totally common on the continent ... [more]

Pedestrianised area in old Geneva. A no entry sign excepting cycles reads "Cycles exceptés".
Translation "Take care! Pedestrians on the cyclepath" A very unusual sign showing that this cycle path is expected to be used by pedestrians as well. Shared use is NEVER normally used in the Netherlands. However, in this case this is nex ... [more]

New signs have gone up in St Andrews Street showing for the first time evidence that you can point someone to to say cyclists *are* allowed to cycle southbound. The grey line is part of the sign painted out. I suspect it has a white line ... [more]
Large central white line very effectively encourages people not to overtake unsafely, and will discourage delivery drivers from causing queues.

On one of the routes to a school in Assen there are several road signs drawn by children. This is my favourite: "Fiets Liever" or "Prefer Bikes". I assume the idea of this is to remind drivers that children will be on their bikes around ... [more]
Access to Addenbrookes and Hills Road from Foster Road - CB2 9JR (Monkswell area in Trumpington).
"Slecht Wegdek" means "bad surface". It really is a bad surface. I wouldn't want to drive a car over it. Of course, we don't have to worry about this if we're on a bike. Watch the video to see how much better you're treated on a bike. ... [more]
No entry sign with "bicycles free" sign underneath. Centre of Nuremberg / Nürnberg, between "Neues Museum" and the main train station.
The sign says "Countryside Area". 60 km/h is about 35 mph on this rural road. That's the highest speed limit I've known on a road which I've shared with drivers in the Netherlands, and you only share such a road where traffic volumes are ve ... [more]
The sign says "Bridge Open - Motor Off". A request for drivers not to pollute the air when a boat is entering or leaving the lock and the bridge is open for it. These signs are quite normal on the many lifting bridges in the Netherlands.
A now rare Fietsers Oversteken sign. These old-fashioned signs sometimes appear on relatively little used roads to tell cyclists to use the cycle path on the other side of the road. It's not a huge penalty as the bike paths are perfectly go ... [more]
