means 'Route to be used by pedal cycles only'.
Except I don't think that would apply to a full-blown road.
You need a "no entry" to stop the motorised traffic.
The safest way to achieve this would be to put in a traffic island 1 metre
from the kerb, and have No Entry signs on the large entrance, and Cycle Only
signs on the small entrance.
Which is indeed what is often done (though the cycle gap should be
1.5m wide). But the island is not always necessary for safety reasons.
If you want to do it without an island, you have to use the flying
motorbike (no motor vehicles) sign instead of 'no entry'. But No Entry
except cycles would be more logical, since motor vehicles are only
prohibited in one direction.
But, as aforementioned, no entry except cycles is not a permitted
combination.
