Maximum safety with the Cycle Crossing Road Sign (Fig. 14)

The road danger sign "Cycle crossing", identified by Figure 14 of the Regulations for the Execution of the Highway Code, is essential to announce the presence of crossings dedicated to cyclists. This sign, with its unmistakable triangular shape and black pictogram on a white background with a red border, invites road users to be extremely cautious by signaling a potential entry or crossing of bicycles. Designed to ensure the safety of both cyclists and motorists, it is a fundamental element of urban and suburban road signs.

Construction and Functional Features

Made of sturdy boxed iron with a thickness of 10/10 mm, this sign guarantees high resistance to corrosion and remarkable durability over time, even in adverse weather conditions. Its folded and reinforced edging further contributes to structural strength. With a side of 90 cm, it comes in the medium format ideal for a wide range of road contexts. Class 1 (RA1) reflective film ensures optimal standard visibility, making the signal clearly perceptible in illuminated urban areas and on roads with moderate traffic, both day and night.

The pictogram, depicting a cyclist on a cycle crossing, complies with current regulations, conveying the message of danger clearly and immediately. The main function of the sign is to warn road users of the imminent presence of a crossing where cyclists have the right of way, making it essential to slow down and pay close attention.

Applications and Regulatory Compliance

The "Cycle Crossing" sign is ideally placed on secondary urban and suburban roads, near cycle paths that intersect the roadway, schools, parks, sports facilities or other areas with frequent bicycle traffic. It can be effectively combined with supplementary panels to provide additional information (e.g. distance or presence of children) and with road markings (such as cycle-pedestrian crossings) to reinforce the danger message and ensure greater safety.

This signal is fully compliant with Art. 39 of the Highway Code relating to danger signs, the Implementing Regulation (Figure 14) and the UNI EN 12899-1 technical standard for permanent vertical signs. Adherence to these regulations certifies its suitability for use on public land, guaranteeing its effectiveness and reliability in contributing to safer road traffic for all.
