Advanced Stop Lines
In major towns and cities you may come across the Advanced Stopline.
The aim of the Advanced Stoplines is to improve safety and raise the profile of the cyclist. Cyclists proceed to the 'Advanced Cycle Stopline' and wait for the green traffic-light signal and motorists are required to stop at the 'Motor Vehicle Stopline' and not obstruct the green forward area.
The use of Stoplines for cyclists and motor vehicles helps reduce potential incidents as vehicles turn left - chances of an accident are increased in these situations as the driver of the motor vehicle can be unaware of the cyclist alongside, particularly lorries.
