B. Important Locations on Cycle Track
1. Junction between cycle track and pedestrian crossing

Smart tip: When riding along cycle track inside subway and approaching pedestrian crossing, cyclists should slow down and be vigilant to pedestrians because of the change of lights that may affect visibility. Whenever necessary, cyclists should stop their bicycles and allow pedestrians to cross the cycle track. Owing to darkness nature inside subway, it is difficult to recognise bicycles coming out from subway, pedestrians should thereby pay particular attention to such and make sure that there is no approaching bicycles before crossing the road.
