Practice question

What does a sign with a picture of a bicycle with an arrow indicate?

  1. Bicycle parking area ahead.
  2. Bike lane ahead.
  3. Bicycles prohibited on the road.
  4. Yield to bicycles.

Answer: B — Bike lane ahead.

A sign with a picture of a bicycle with an arrow indicates a bike lane ahead. This means that bicycles are allowed to use a designated lane on the road, separate from vehicle traffic. Option A is incorrect because it pertains to a specific area for parking, not a designated lane. Option C is incorrect because it states that bicycles are prohibited on the road, which contradicts the picture of a bicycle on the sign. Option D is incorrect because it pertains to yielding to bicycles, rather than indicating a bike lane ahead. Be mindful that some bike lane signs may have additional symbols or text that provide further information. Overall, a sign with a picture of a bicycle with an arrow is used to alert drivers to the presence of a designated bike lane on the road.
