Can cyclists use a crossing with a green bicycle symbol in Northern Ireland?
Yes. At a cycle-only signalised crossing, cyclists may ride across when the green cycle symbol is displayed.
The Northern Ireland Highway Code distinguishes cycle-only crossings from pedestrian-only ones. Rule 81 says riders must not cross until the green cycle signal is showing, even if vehicle traffic looks clear. A crossing that has the outline of a bicycle is not automatically a pedestrian zebra crossing. Wait at the correct stop position, check for turning vehicles and use the relevant cycle light rather than guessing from traffic in the adjoining lane.
