Option:

01 The R9-5 sign (see Figure 9B-2) may be used where the crossing of a street by bicyclists is controlled by pedestrian signal indications.

02 Where it is not intended for bicyclists to be controlled by pedestrian signal indications, the R10-4, R10-24, or R10-26 sign (see Figure 9B-2 and Section 2B.52) may be used.

Guidance:

03 If used, the R9-5, R10-4, R10-24, or R10-26 signs should be installed near the edge of the sidewalk in the vicinity of where bicyclists will be crossing the street.

Option:

04 If bicyclists are crossing a roadway where In-Roadway Warning Lights (see Section 4N.02) or other warning lights or beacons have been provided, the R10-25 sign (see Figure 9B-2) may be used.

05 The R9-6 sign (see Figure 9B-2) may be used where a bicyclist is required to cross or share a facility used by pedestrians and is required to yield to the pedestrians.

Support:

06 (DE Revision) There are circumstances where it may be appropriate to exempt bicyclists from regulatory restrictions applied to other traffic.

Guidance:

07 (DE Revision) Where an engineering study finds that it is appropriate to exempt bicyclists from the provisions of a regulatory sign, the EXCEPT Bicycles (R3-7bP) plaque (see Figure 9B-2) should be used.

Standard:

08 (DE Revision) The EXCEPT Bicycles (R3-7bP) plaque shall not be used to change assignment of right-of-way at STOP or YIELD signs, or to override a traffic signal indication.

09 (DE Revision) The EXCEPT Bicycles (R3-7bP) plaque shall be placed below the regulatory sign affected by the plaque.
