Road marking symbols: what it means

What it means

These symbols are additional markings, used together with standard signs and markings. They tell you that an area is reserved for a specific group, or that a road leads to a specific destination.

What you must do

Do not use a road, or a marked part of a road, if you are not part of the group the marking identifies.

Where you see it

On any road, such as at a cycle lane, on a road that leads to an airport, or at a parking bay reserved for the handicapped only.

Remember

If the symbol is not for your group, that part of the road is not for you.
