Flying motorcycle sign, TSRGD diag. no. 619

The Flying motorcycle sign is a layperson's term for the British regulatory traffic sign which prohibits all motor vehicles. The sign has the designated diagram number of 619 in the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD).

The TSRGD definition is 'Motor vehicles prohibited', although the layperson's terminology uses the flying motorcycle or motorbike.

Usage[edit]

The signs are recommended for use in conjunction with contraflow advisory cycle lanes without segregation at entry and exit. The Department for Transport (DfT) states that cyclists may be permitted to travel in both directions along one-way streets, where the detour would otherwise be longer and more hazardous. The combination of No entry sign and "Except cycles" plate is not permitted by the TSRGD, although trials have been authorised by the DfT at some locations.

Where there is sufficient highway space, segregated entry and exit for cyclists can be provided with kerbed islands. In these instances, convential No entry signs and cycle route signage can be used.

Equivalent signs[edit]

Signs enforcing equivalent prohibitions are available in other countries.
