Bicycle lock

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A bicycle sluice , also known as a cyclist sluice , in Switzerland Veloschleuse , is a facility to safely guide cyclists driving straight ahead or turning left past intersecting motor vehicle traffic flows. Cyclists who are guided in the right-hand side room are given their own signaling devices and stop lines at traffic lights and are then guided onto the lane in front of the cars or on a separate cycle lane next to or in front of the waiting cars. Vehicles are stopped either without their own signal ( withdrawn stop line , possibly with a sign at red stop here ) or with an additional signal.

The bus lock works according to the same principle, usually with its own signals for bus and vehicle traffic.
