What does the E21.1 'Recommended route for cyclists' sign mean?

Do I need to behave differently when I see the 'Recommended route for cyclists' sign?

As a driver, you don't need to alter your driving behaviour specifically for this sign, other than being aware that cyclists have a designated route. However, you should always be vigilant for cyclists, especially where they are expected to be present. Always respect their space and follow any specific lane arrangements or traffic signals.

Are there any common exam traps related to the E21.1 sign?
