You are cycling along a road and see this sign ahead: a blue circular sign with a white cycle symbol in the centre. What does this sign tell you about how you should ride past parked cars on this road?

Explanation

A blue circular sign with a white cycle symbol indicates a mandatory cycle route. The Highway Code (Rule 67) advises cyclists to take precautions and be aware of potential hazards, such as doors opening from parked vehicles. Even when using a marked cycle route, you should maintain a safe distance from parked cars and look out for people getting in or out, rather than riding close to them to let other traffic pass.
