End of Bicycle Street
The sign indicates that the bicycle street ends.
When You See This Sign
When you see the sign you should understand that the special status of the bicycle street ends at that point. Adjust your driving to normal road rules, check for new speed limit signs, and be aware that cyclists may still be close to the road even after the end.
Rules & Regulations
- Meaning of the sign: E34 indicates that the special regulation for a bicycle street ends at the point where the sign is posted.
- After the sign, normal road rules and right-of-way rules apply — cyclists no longer have automatic priority merely because of the previous bicycle street status.
- Any special restrictions that applied to the bicycle street (e.g., prohibition of through traffic for motor vehicles or specific parking rules) end where the sign is posted, unless other traffic signs indicate otherwise.
- Drivers must adjust speed and behavior to the new road type and obey any new speed limit signs or road signs that apply after the end of the bicycle street.
Tips for Drivers
- Don't just slow down because you are leaving a bicycle street — check whether the speed limit actually changes via separate signage.
- Be extra attentive to cyclists during the transition: even though the bicycle street's special rules end, cyclists may still be present in close proximity and often need space.
- Look for new road markings or signs immediately after E34 that indicate which rules now apply (right-of-way, speed, lanes).
- Plan overtaking only after you have assessed that it is safe and that no signs or markings prohibit overtaking.
Common Mistakes
- Believing that cyclists still have automatic priority after the sign — many mistakenly think the priority continues for a few meters.
- Assuming the speed limit automatically increases when the bicycle street ends — any change in speed must be indicated separately.
- Thinking that all cyclists disappear and therefore not scanning for them — cyclists may still be present and need space.

Exam Tip
On the theory test you may be asked to choose between options stating that cyclists still have priority or that the speed changes automatically. Correct answer: the bicycle street's special rules end, but any change to the speed limit must be indicated by a separate sign.
Did You Know?
Signs for bicycle streets and "bicycle street ends" are often used in urban areas where cyclists are given priority on one stretch but then guided onto regular streets. The E34 sign is used to clearly mark the transition and often appears at exits from residential streets or where a bicycle-priority stretch meets a main road.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the sign mean I can drive faster immediately after it?
No. The sign only indicates that the bicycle street rules end. Any speed limit must be indicated by a separate speed sign.
Do cyclists still have priority immediately after the sign?
No. The bicycle street's special priority ends where the sign is posted. After the end, normal right-of-way rules apply, but be aware that cyclists often remain nearby.
Can I start overtaking at the same spot where the bicycle street ends?
Only if overtaking is permitted under traffic rules and it is safe. Check for no-overtaking signs or other markings that restrict the maneuver.
