Art. 74a OSR · Bicycle Lanes and Tracks, Pedestrian Paths, and Riding Trails, Bicycle Symbol
Bicycle lanes and traffic routes on bicycle tracks shall be delineated by a yellow discontinuous or continuous line (6.09). Vehicles must not encroach upon or cross the continuous line. In intersection areas, marking bicycle lanes is only permitted if the priority is removed from vehicles entering the intersection.
The establishment of bicycle lanes on both sides of the roadway is only permitted outside of localities if both halves of the roadway are separated by a marking.
...
When a bicycle track crosses a secondary road and, as an exception and by derogation from Art. 15, para. 3, OCR, users of this track are given priority, the crossing of the road shall be indicated by yellow discontinuous lines; priority must be removed from vehicles traveling on the secondary road, using "Stop" signals (3.01) or "Yield" signals (3.02).
Bicycle tracks, pedestrian paths, and riding trails (Art. 33) situated at the same level shall be separated by a yellow discontinuous or continuous line. Cyclists and moped riders as well as riders are prohibited from encroaching upon or crossing the yellow continuous lines.
On the bicycle tracks and lanes, it is possible to paint the yellow symbol of a bicycle as well as yellow arrows indicating the direction to follow or the order of preselection.
The bicycle symbol is also permitted outside of bicycle tracks and lanes in the following situations: a. on lanes reserved for buses; b. on parking spaces reserved for bicycles and mopeds; c. at the edge of the roadway in front of pedestrian refuges and similar narrow passages where a bicycle lane must be interrupted; d. to indicate bicycle and moped traffic in the opposite direction on one-way streets in the absence of a bicycle lane; e. on right-turn lanes where bicycles and mopeds can continue straight ahead contrary to vehicles in general. In this case, the symbol is complemented by yellow directional arrows; f. in "bicycle boxes" (6.26) near light signal installations; g. on the roadway of 30 zones, provided that the road is part of a defined network of bicycle lanes and priority has been granted to it.
On paths intended for two categories of users (Art. 33, para. 4, and 65, para. 8), it is possible to paint in yellow the symbols of the relevant signals to specify the situation.
