Pedestrian, Bicycle and Bus Signs in Victoria

Regulatory signs say what you must or must not do, and ignoring them is an offence. These signs protect people on foot and on bikes, and give priority to buses in some places.

  • In a built-up area you must give way to a bus displaying a Give Way To Bus sign that is signalling to pull out from the kerb into the left lane.
  • Give way to pedestrians as the rules require, especially where a sign tells you pedestrians may cross.
  • Bicycle riders have their own paths and lanes: do not drive in them except where a rule allows.
