Introduction
EuroVelo is a project of the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF) to develop a network of
high-quality cycle routes linking all countries in Europe. It can be used by long-distance
cycle tourists, as well as by local people making daily journeys.
More information can be taken from the ECF brochure «EuroVelo, the European cycle
route Network» (Download: www.eurovelo.org).
Signing of EuroVelo cycle routes
The effective promotion of cycling tourism in Europe requires routes to be signed in a
manner that can be understood by international and national users, in order to ensure
the safe conduct of cyclists in traffic. It is thus essential that the signing of cycle routes is
consistent and clearly recognizable.
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) in cooperation with
the ECF has therefore produced a recommendation for the signing of EuroVelo routes,
which forms the basis of this manual (Download: www.unece.org [search = Consolidated
Resolution on Road Signs and Signals (R.E.2) 31 July 2009] or www.eurovelo.org).

Route information panel
In order to identify EuroVelo routes, the use of an easily recognizable EuroVelo route
information panel, added to the existing signage system, should be used. This route
information panel is a signing element already widely used in a number of European
countries to sign cycle routes. It comprises the following components:
1 Background (colour. Council of Europe blue): displays a European aspect
2 Route number (colour, white): essential for quick route identification
3 Council of Europe stars (colour, yellow): displays a European aspect (optional)
4 EuroVelo route name, eg Rivers route (optional, name can be in the local language)
5 Wording: EuroVelo (optional, confirmation of EuroVelo route status)

Signing
The route information panel should be integrated into route signs in the same manner
as other route information panels and according to national or regional standards. There
is normally no need to change the country-specific design of cycle signage (colour, sha-
pe, etc.) for the incorporation of this panel.
It is possible to combine EuroVelo information with other route information using the
frame version. This version could be used as an interim solution on existing route signs
where space for an additional panel is lacking.
Countries which have not made provision within their existing cycle signage system for
the addition of route information panels, should incorporate the design elements illus-
trated here into their existing system.
