Lanes
Lanes are demarcated from each other by safety, guide or double lines (Art. 73). Paragraphs 4 and 5 apply to the demarcation of bus and cycle lanes.
On paths for two user categories (Art. 33 Para. 4), the symbols of the corresponding signal may be painted in yellow for clarification.
Where a cycle path crosses a minor road and the users of the cycle path are exceptionally to be given the right of way, contrary to Article 15 paragraph 3 VRV, the crossing is indicated by yellow broken lines; the vehicles on the minor road are to be given the right of way with the signals “Stop” (3.01) or “No right of way” (3.02).
White directional arrows indicate the direction of travel to be taken by the driver.
On cycle paths and cycle lanes, the symbol of a bicycle as well as directional or single lane arrows may be painted in yellow.
A yellow, broken or unbroken line is used to separate cycle paths, footpaths and bridleways that run on the same level (Art. 33). Unbroken lines may not be crossed by cyclists, motorcyclists or horse riders. Cycle lanes are demarcated by a broken or unbroken yellow line (6.09). The unbroken line may neither be driven over nor crossed.1 On branching areas, cycle lanes may only be marked if the right of way is withdrawn from vehicles entering the junction. The use of the cycle lane is also subject to Article 40
VRV2.3
Bus lanes marked by continuous or interrupted yellow lines and by the yellow inscription “BUS” (6.08) may only be used by buses in public service and, where appropriate, by trams; exceptions are marked or signalled. Other vehicles may not use bus lanes, but may cross them if necessary (e.g. for turning) if they are demarcated by yellow broken lines.
Rejection arrows (white, diagonally arranged; 6.07) indicate that the lane is to be left in the indicated direction.
Lanes for left-turning, right-turning or straight ahead drivers are indicated by white single lane arrows (6.06) pointing in the appropriate direction. The driver may only enter junctions in the direction of the single lane arrows on his lane. Yellow arrows are intended exclusively for drivers of buses in regular public transport and allow them to drive in the direction of the yellow arrows.
Extended cycle lanes (6.26) are cycle lanes with an associated set-up area, which can be marked in front of traffic signals in special cases. In the extended area marked with the symbol of a bicycle, cyclists are allowed to line up next to each other when the light is red,
