Traffic sign D7: Compulsory cycle path

The D7 sign marks a cycle path that cyclists must use. At roadworks it marks a temporary cycle path, for example a protected strip on the carriageway next to the works zone.

Mandatory signs are round and blue. They impose an obligation: follow a direction, use a cycle path or a footpath. On a worksite they guide traffic around an obstacle or towards a temporary passage.

Anyone who puts up a traffic sign on the public road for works needs the consent of the road authority: through the occupation permit or through a signage permit with a signage plan. Without that consent you may not put up the sign.
