How to deal with cycle lanes

When learning to drive in Eltham you will encounter some cycling infrastructure, such as segregated cycle lanes and 'wands', which are 'traffic delineators'.

At traffic lights there are often advanced stop lines.

Highway code rule 178

Advanced stop lines. Some signal-controlled junctions have advanced stop lines to allow cycles to be positioned ahead of other traffic. Motorists, including motorcyclists, MUST stop at the first white line reached if the lights are amber or red and should avoid blocking the way or encroaching on the marked area at other times, e.g. if the junction ahead is blocked. If your vehicle has proceeded over the first white line at the time that the signal goes red, you MUST stop at the second white line, even if your vehicle is in the marked area. Allow cyclists time and space to move off when the green signal shows. Laws RTA 1988 sect 36 & TSRGD regs 10, 36(1) & 43(2)

Also rule 140

You MUST NOT drive or park in a cycle lane marked by a solid white line during its times of operation. Do not drive or park in a cycle lane marked by a broken white line unless it is unavoidable

When passing cyclists you must leave at least 1.5 metres, or 5 feet.

Locally the pot-hole situation is so dire that cyclists may need to manoeuvre to avoid them. Please be considerate and give plenty of time, space and understanding.

Allow cyclists time and space. You must check your left mirror before turning left and be prepared to give way to cyclists on your nearside.
