💡 What You Must Know:
Bus and cycle signs are included in the official UK theory test. These signs show areas or lanes reserved for buses, bicycles, or both. They help ensure the safe and proper use of bus stops, cycle lanes, and shared paths. You’ll often see clear road markings and symbols that indicate who can use each lane and when. For example:
🚴 Cycle lane ahead
🚌 Timed bus lane operation
↔️ Shared pedestrian/cycle path
🔄 End of designated lane
- You will practise questions related to bus and cycle lane signs and markings.
- Each question presents three or four answer choices to test your knowledge.
- After selecting an answer, the system will highlight correct options in green and incorrect ones in red.
- If your answer is incorrect, an explanation will help clarify the rule or restriction shown by the sign.
