Pedestrian and cycle path
The sign indicates a path constructed for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers of small electric motor vehicles. The sign also indicates that the provisions of trafikkreglene concerning the use of such a path apply.
When you see the sign
As a driver, you should understand that this path is intended for pedestrians, cyclists and users of small electric motor vehicles. You must not drive onto it by car, and if you have to cross it, for example at a driveway, you must take particular care and give way.
Rules
- The path is intended for pedestrians, cyclists and users of small electric motor vehicles, such as electric scooters that meet the requirements of the regulations.
- Cars, motorcycles and ordinary mopeds are generally not allowed to use the path.
- Pedestrians and vehicles share the same space; the sign does not indicate separate areas for pedestrians and cyclists.
- A car driver leaving a property or a similar area and crossing the pedestrian and cycle path must give way to road users on it.
Tips
- Look for cyclists and users of small electric motor vehicles approaching from either direction before crossing the path.
- Cross the pedestrian and cycle path at low speed so that you can stop before the crossing point.
- Avoid stopping your car so that it blocks the pedestrian and cycle path while you wait to enter another road.
- Take extra care near hedges, parked vehicles and buildings that may conceal people using the path.
Common misconceptions
- Assuming that the sign indicates a lane that cars may use when there is little traffic.
- Assuming that pedestrians and cyclists always have their own physically separated part of the path.
- Assuming that ordinary moped riders may use the path because small electric motor vehicles are permitted.
Test yourself
Easy
What does this sign indicate?
- AThe road is intended for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers of small electric motor vehicles.
- BThe road has physically separated parts for pedestrians, cyclists and car drivers.
- CThe road has a kollektivfelt for buses, taxis and electric passenger cars.
- DThe road has a heavy-traffic lane for lorries and other heavy vehicles.
Medium
You are driving a car out of a property and must cross the road marked with this sign. A cyclist is approaching. What do you do?
- AI drive first because traffic from a property has priority when crossing.
- BI drive first because cyclists always have vikeplikt toward cars.
- CI stop if necessary and let the cyclist pass before crossing.
- DI stop only if a pedestrian, not a cyclist, is approaching.
Hard
Which of these road users is generally allowed to use the road indicated by the sign?
- AA driver of a passenger car who uses the road when traffic is light.
- BA driver of an electric scooter that meets the requirements in the regulations.
- CA driver of an ordinary moped travelling at a very low speed.
- DA motorcyclist who passes pedestrians with a good clearance.
Theory test tip
A common trap is confusing this sign with a sign indicating a separate cycle lane or separate areas. Here, pedestrians, cyclists and users of small electric motor vehicles share the same path.
Did you know
The term small electric motor vehicle includes electric scooters that meet the technical requirements. They are not the same as ordinary mopeds, even though both have a motor.
Frequently asked questions
Can I drive a car on this path?
No, cars are generally not allowed to use the path. Any special permission or other regulation must be indicated separately.
Can I cross the path by car to enter a property?
Yes, if access requires it. You must drive carefully and give way when leaving a property or a similar area and crossing the path.
Are ordinary mopeds allowed?
No, an ordinary moped is not a small electric motor vehicle. It must therefore not use the pedestrian and cycle path unless separate regulations permit it.
Are pedestrians and cyclists separated on this path?
No, they use the same space. Everyone must show consideration and adapt to the other road users.
