On-road: Cycle routes between towns

Guidelines for making rural roads safer for cyclists
Country roads are popular with training and touring cyclists, as well as commuting cyclists who live in the country or whose workplace is out of town.
Sealed shoulders are the best way to make roads between towns safer for all users and should be included in any road upgrade on 'M' and 'A' roads.
Disused railway lines also offer an opportunity to create an off-road route between towns in the form of a rail trail.
VicRoads Cycle Notes 6 outlines guidelines for signage on roads used by cyclists for training.
These signs may only be used following an official approach from a cycling club that is affiliated with Victoria Cycling Incorporated or Cycle Sport Victoria.
