Imagine how many signs you can buy when there are a lot of side roads and you can’t be bothered to organise cycle priority over them…
@perviouslyiner Okay that one is also really funny lol, where even is that? Is anyone supposed to bike for 10m then dismount, and walk 5m, remount and repeat?
Where this photo was taken, there are pedestrian crossings on bike lanes just like roads and bikes are supposed to stop and let pedestrians cross, but not dismount every time, that’s just nonsense lol
The guy had an entire blog of all the stupidness like this - this one is from http://wcc.crankfoot.xyz/facility-of-the-month/September2007.htm
Wtf. That’s a telephoto lens and that path is really 3km, right?
The length of the chain link fence segments sadly go against that hope 😅
It’s just ‘don’t cross the road on your bike’ surely?

I think this means to dismount and walk the bike across the intersection. Usually the sign will actually say “DISMOUNT”.
@ciapatri I don’t think that’s the case because the intersection is just for bikes. See the map, the picture was taken there and the blue dashed line is the cycling lane.
The signs mean “Beginning of bike lane” and “End of bike lane”
I think they finished the cycling lane first and installed the “End of bike lane” and later they continued it and for some reason instead of removing/moving the old sign, they made a new one!
Auditor trap
Schrödinger’s bike path.
It both is, and is not a bike path at once, until someone uses it (either as a bike path, or a sidewalk) and the wave function collapses.
maybe it means when you’re riding on a pedestrian path that crosses a street used by cars, you’re supposed to dismount and walk across. I think I remember being told as a kid that’s what you’re supposed to do, although it was never explained to me why that was supposed to be safer. I guess so that you slow down, so drivers are more likely to notice you’re there, instead of running you over and then saying “they came out of nowhere!”
I think those signs mean “you are about to leave the exclusive bicycle area” and “you are reentering the exclusive bicycle area”, cause automobiles cross there.
It is funny to imagine someone running up the path with a bike on their back, then pulling it out with a sigh of relief after hitting the next sign.
The images on the road surface are bikes too so this is just weird
This would be a great geoguessr one shot challenge.
There’s even a satellite dish, as if the latitude wasn’t already a gimme.
@eestileib Cars don’t even cross there! The picture was taken here, the blue dashed line is the cycling lane.
Ok yeah that’s far stranger than I thought.
