One-way street

What it means

You are on a one-way street; the arrow shows the permitted direction. There is no oncoming traffic.

What it requires of you

No oncoming cars does not mean no risk: in many streets cyclists may ride both ways, and then someone does come towards you. Check the supplementary panel.

Where it stands

At the start of the one-way street and repeated after side streets.

How far it applies

Applies from the sign until the end of the road or until a sign that lifts it.

Who it applies to

bestuurder
