6. Bike path
A bike path is a part of a road or a separate route intended primarily or exclusively for people riding bicycles. It may be physically separated from motor traffic, marked on the road surface or identified by traffic signs.
Bike paths may be one-way, two-way or shared with other road users. The permitted users, direction of travel, priority rules and obligation to use the path depend on local traffic signs and regulations.

What does Hungary call a cycle path and cycle lane?
A cycle path is a kerékpárút, a cycle lane is a kerékpársáv, and a combined walking and cycling route is a gyalog- és kerékpárút. Check the facility’s signs and any marked division between users.

Mandatory path for cyclists.
English • Traffic sign figure 26 • Cycle path. The sign identifies a route designated for two-wheeled bicycles. Outside built-up areas, motorised invalid carriages, powered wheelchairs and two-wheeled mopeds may use it unless signs prohibit this. Other vehicles are prohibited.
Magyar • 26. ábra • Kerékpárút. A tábla a kétkerekű kerékpárok közlekedésére kijelölt utat jelez; a segédmotoros rokkantkocsi, a gépi meghajtású kerekes szék és a kétkerekű segédmotoros kerékpár lakott területen kívül a kerékpárutat igénybe veheti, ha ezt jelzőtábla nem tiltja. A kerékpárúton más jármű közlekedése tilos.

Must two-wheeled cyclists use a Hungarian path running alongside their road?
Normally yes, where a cycle path or combined walking and cycling path follows the road. In a built-up area beside a road that is not a main road, cycle symbols on the carriageway can permit carriageway use unless the signs indicate otherwise.
May I turn left directly from a Hungarian cycle path onto the parallel road?
No. The rules prohibit that manoeuvre. Dismount and push the bicycle across the carriageway under the pedestrian rules instead. The path’s proximity to the road does not permit a direct riding turn across its traffic.
