Share with Care
All pathways in Queensland are shared unless otherwise signed.
Key rules for road users:
- A white symbol in a bike lane means cyclists only.
- A yellow symbol indicates a shared area between cyclists and motorists.
- Green paint on the road means you should pay more attention to cyclists.
- Riders should be considerate of drivers when choosing to cycle two abreast - they should indicate clearly and make sure they are visible.
- Motorists should leave at least one metre between the side of their vehicle and cyclists and if this is not possible, brake and wait.
- Motorists should always indicate correctly, and check blind spots before manoeuvring.
- Pathways are shared areas - cyclists need to make sure they are riding at an appropriate speed, should install a bell and warn pedestrians when they are coming.
- Everyone needs to keep to the left on pathways, and pedestrians should take care not to block the path.
