1. Cyclist crossing
A cyclist crossing is a designated place where cyclists cross a road or carriageway. It may connect sections of a cycle path or provide a specific crossing point where cyclists move from one side of the road to the other.
Cyclist crossings are usually identified by road markings, traffic signs or traffic signals. Priority rules vary between countries, so cyclists and drivers must follow the signs, signals and local traffic rules that apply at the crossing.
