Street Signs

Knowledge of the traffic signs is important so that you know what you are expected to do. Some of the signs can be somewhat confusing. For example, the sign pictured below means that it is a one way street, but that cyclists are exempted from the one way rule

Be aware that there are also one way streets for bicycles, so if you see a one way sign without the blue bike sign underneath it, then it is one way for bicycles and cars.

Some other interesting road signs are picture below.

Sign E18 means dead end, and sign E18.1 means that it is a dead end for cars only, and there is a cycle path after the road ends. Sign C21 means that there is no traffic of any kind allowed, and C22.1 means that motorcycles and cars are not allowed. There is a whole series of signs like C22.1 which prohibit certain kinds of traffic. A full list of signs along with explanations (in Danish) can be foundhere . The main website is d-s-m.dk Most of the signs are straight forward, and with the help of the explanations and google translate, you should be able to figure out most of them. However, if you find any signs that you want an explanation for, send an email to cycling.guide@gmail.com

After our research and investigation of cycling infrastructure in Copenhagen, we came up with a list to describe the various street types.

These street types are:

1. Cycle path with median between bicycle and moving auto lanes.

2. Cycle path separated from moving auto lanes by a raised curb, which may or may not be to the right of parked cars

3. Painted cycle lanes between sidewalk and traffic lanes

4. Streets with no cycle paths or cycle lanes
