Direction Signs for Cyclists and Pedestrians
Direction signs for cyclists and pedestrians tell cyclists, pedestrians and drivers how to reach key
destinations using cycle routes, walking routes, shared paths and crossings. This page explains what these direction
signs mean, how to recognise them quickly, and links to every individual road sign in this category so you can
revise them for your car theory test, motorcycle theory test, HGV / LGV theory test, PCV
theory test, or ADI Part 1 theory test.

What are direction signs for cyclists and pedestrians?
Direction signs for cyclists and pedestrians are part of the UK road and traffic sign system used to show where
walking and cycling routes go, which way to turn at junctions, and how far it is to key destinations. They help
people choose safe, convenient routes on foot or by bike and make it easier for drivers to anticipate where
cyclists and pedestrians may appear.
You'll usually see:
- Cycle route direction signs showing which way to go for numbered or named cycle routes and
local cycle facilities.
- Pedestrian direction signs and fingerposts pointing towards town centres, stations, schools,
shops and other popular destinations for people on foot.
- Shared path direction signs where cyclists and pedestrians share the same route, often with
symbols for both.
- Local direction signs guiding people walking or cycling to nearby amenities, attractions,
parks and leisure routes.
Understanding these direction signs for cyclists and pedestrians is essential if you regularly drive, ride or
walk in built-up areas, near schools, parks and town centres - and they can all appear in your DVSA driving theory
test and hazard perception test.
