What do these road markings indicate?

What do these road markings indicate?

Correct answer

A cyclist crossing.

A road marking like the one shown, made up of two parallel broken lines running across the carriageway, indicates a cyclist crossing. These markings are intended to signal a specific point on the road where cyclists are expected to cross. Drivers must be especially alert when approaching these road markings, as they are required to give way to cyclists who are using, or about to use, this crossing. This give-way rule is important for ensuring the safety of cyclists, a group of road users more vulnerable than those in motor vehicles. These cyclist crossings are designed to enable the safe coexistence of cyclists and motor vehicles, and to promote cycling as a sustainable and healthy means of transport.
