Question: What does a 'SHARE THE ROAD' sign with a bicycle mean?

Answer options:

  • Bicycle lane only ✅ Drivers and cyclists share the lane
  • No bicycles
  • Bike rental nearby

Correct answer: Drivers and cyclists share the lane

Explanation: The "Share the Road" sign is a yellow warning sign indicating that motorists must expect cyclists on the roadway and safely share the same traffic lane with them. The option "bicycle lane only" is incorrect because dedicated bike lanes are marked by white regulatory signs and road stencils, while "no bicycles" features a prohibitive red circle. The official Ontario Highway Traffic Act treats bicycles as vehicles, meaning they have a legal right to occupy the lane. For the G1 exam, recognizing this sign is vital to understanding safe passing zones and the requirement for motorists to maintain a one-metre gap when passing cyclists.
