Red means stop, amber means stop (with caveats), so it’s no surprise that red and amber also means stop. Do not pass the stop line until green light shows and the way ahead is clear. But listen for engine noise behind you, as drivers may set off on red and amber… What I really think about... supercars, America, foreigners, car launches, Top Gear, the battle of the sexes and cars "

Vehicles, especially large vehicles may often need to reduce speed to navigate the contraflow system. ensure you keep a safe distance from the vehicles in front. exploit the Information commercially for example, by combining it with other Information, or by including it in your own product or application.For students of this type of thing, it's perhaps worth looking at the other end of this street which has NO ENTRY signs with no exception for cyclists. Allowing contraflow cycling can be achieved in a number of different ways which may or may not involve a cycle lane. For example an "Except Cyclists" sign under the no entry sign, a "false one way" - where motor traffic is bared from entering the street at one end, a shared bus & cycle lane etc. We’ll talk you through contraflows on the motorway, bus and cycle lanes. By the end of this article you’ll know what they are, where you’ll find them and how you should drive through them. Let’s get into it. What is a contraflow system?

Contraflow bus lanes are usually located in busy city areas and are used to allow a bus the most direct route and to aid in avoiding routes that suffer from traffic congestion. When you approach the contraflow system, you’ll usually see red cones separating your lane from oncoming vehicles. You’d also expect the lane you’re driving in to be narrower than normal. What should you do on a contraflow system on a motorway? Two sizes are prescribed for the sign to diagram 962.1; in most cases the smaller size will be sufficient. The sign should be mounted below any GIVE WAY or STOP sign or, if the junction is controlled by traffic signals, mounted a sufficient distance in advance of the junction so as not to obstruct the view of the signal head. The days and times of operation may be shown on the sign where appropriate. For a 24-hour cycle lane no times are shown; "At any time" is not a permitted variant. Where the sign has been varied to "Cycle lanes" (see para 17.9) and the two lanes operate at different times, no time period should be shown. Drivers will be informed of the period of operation by the combined sign to diagrams 959.1 and 961 after turning into the major road.If contraflow means going against grain, then with-flow simply means travelling in the same direction as normal traffic. Be careful not to mix the two up, especially when identifying signs: the difference between contraflow and with-flow bus and cycle lane signs is that the latter don’t have arrows—everyone is travelling the same way.

Pushing your bike is still permitted, so hop off until you see a sign giving you the go-ahead to ride on. No vehicles The stars and their cars Giorgetto Giugiaro, legendary car designer Gran Turismo star on fatal Nurburgring crash Duke of Richmond Q&A: 75 years of Goodwood › More here... One-way streets are generally designed to keep traffic moving, but tend to disadvantage cyclists. They might be forced to use busy routes and dangerous junctions. Because of this, bike users may be tempted to ignore the signs and get round the restrictions by cycling the other way along the pavement—which puts pedestrians at risk. You need to also be aware that the hard shoulder may be used for traffic and that the road ahead could be obstructed by slow-moving or broken-down vehicles. Contra-flow bus lanes The sign to diagram 967 is prescribed in two sizes. The smaller size should be used on roads with a speed limit of 20mph or 30mph. The larger size is for use on roads with higher limits.Research suggests that the presence of cycle lanes may encourage drivers to overtake cyclists more closely than they would if the lane wasn’t there.
