Cycle Lanes Are Roads Too
Cycle lanes are designed to improve safety and encourage sustainable transport, but traffic law still applies.

Not everyone experiences traffic in the same way, and some people are naturally more vulnerable than others.
Understanding vulnerability is one of the most important parts of improving road safety for everyone.
Road safety for children begins with simple, consistent habits. Teaching seat belt use, safe crossing, and awareness helps build behaviours that protect them for life.
Cyclists and pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users. On conventional roads, where speeds are higher, giving space and reducing speed are critical to preventing serious injury.
As towns, shopping areas, and tourist zones become busier, pedestrian risk increases. Collisions involving vulnerable road users remain a serious concern, and slowing down is the most effective way to reduce harm.
