Inspired by a post here, I thought it would be interesting to create a collections of road signs for bike paths

Italy: we have three options:

  • Common Common path
  • Bikes only Bikes only
  • separated Separated, usually by a line

We have equivalently signs here in finland, though often you'll see bike paths marked by simple painted bikes on the ground. In recent years I've started seeing it designated by a red colored pavement. These are nice, but really curbs seem to be the only thing that reliably separates bikes and pedestrians.

We also have "pedestrian zones/roads" marked by these signs.

The sign is deceptive, as they actually mean that bikes are explicitly allowed. The signs designate squares and wide areas where cars are NOT allowed.

they actually mean that bikes are explicitly allowed

I’d say that’s more of an implicit meaning since the sign certainly doesn’t show that.

Not mutually exclusive.

In this case I'm referring to the word of the law, which leaves no doubt about bikes being allowed.

The sign is implicit. The law is explicit.
