Cycling in Jersey
There are no restrictions on cycling in Jersey.
However, cyclists must obey the same rules that apply to drivers at pedestrian crossings and school crossing patrols.
Cyclists also should:
- Keep brakes in good condition.
- Ensure their front and rear lights are lit and that their cycles have an efficient red rear reflector when cycling at night.
- Stay as close as possible to the side of the road when wheeling their cycles.
- Stop when asked to do so by a police officer or traffic warden.
- It is recommended that cyclists wear a cycle helmet and fluorescent or light coloured clothing and that they do not carry another passenger unless their bikes have been built or adapted to do so.
- Children below the age of 10 should not ride on the road unless supervised by an adult. Cyclists, age 10 upwards, should be encouraged to take basic cycling proficiency training, which is offered at different venues throughout the Island. For more information, contact the Road Safety Officer at .
