Cycle Lanes and Routes

Cycle lanes and routes are an important part of Wirral’s transport network. There are differences between cycle lanes and routes. Cycle lanes are part of a road marked off for cyclists, cycle routes are specific tracks purpose built for cyclists.

Some cycle lanes end at advanced stop lines (ASL). An ASL area at traffic lights is a signed and marked area, like a box in front of the stop line of the traffic signals, which gives cyclists a safe, visible area to wait, where they are separated from other traffic. It allows cyclists to move ahead before other vehicles, making it safer to turn left or right.
