In the UK it’s “Cyclists Dismount” on the signs. They’re usually there to say ‘if you disobey this sign and then have an accident, the local authority is not liable’. I’ve seen them on footbridges with railings high enough for pedestrians, but which you could conceivably go over if you lost control of your bike and went over the handlebars.
Dr. Rad nails it. Yep, I think it’s mostly a CYA for the local authorities. My little village has stop signs for the railroad tracks. The railroad tracks which have 1 or at most 2 trains/day, up & down which you can see for a mile in each direction. Bikes, cars, walkers, everything is supposed to stop for the train that isn’t there. Grrr.
Nothing quite like walking a bike across pavement with cleated shoes.
What’s MUP ?
Multi-use path.
