Sidewalk or roadway: where should cyclists ride if there are no dedicated lanes?

It’s time to dot all the i’s. What do the rules of the road say about this?

Endlessly you can look at three things: how the fire burns, how water flows and how unfortunate cyclists try not to run over pedestrians, while collecting a number of unflattering insults in their address.

This is often due to a lack of knowledge of the requirements of traffic rules, which were adopted in the recent year 2018 just for such cases.

In brief, cyclists over the age of 14 must ride on a cycle path. If there is no bike lane on the sidewalk, a cyclist over the age of 14 has the right to ride on the right edge of the roadway.

On the roadway, cyclists may only ride in a column of no more than 10 people. If it is not possible to ride on the roadway and sidewalk, you may ride on the curb. However, there are reservations about riding on the sidewalk or any other pedestrian area without identifying signs that allow bicycles. If a bicyclist accompanies or transports a child in an extra seat, bicycle wheelchair or trailer that is designed to be used with a bicycle, he or she has the right to ride without reference to the presence or absence of bicycle lanes.

Young cyclists under the age of 14 are only allowed to ride on the sidewalk or within other pedestrian areas. Finally, if a bicyclist is severely impeding or even endangering pedestrians by riding on the sidewalk or curb, he or she must get off the bike and follow the rules that are provided for pedestrian traffic.

I would like to urge people to have the understanding that sometimes it is worth it to be considerate of your neighbor. Cyclists are people too, and they have no intention of annoying all the people walking on the same road with them. It is important to know your rights, and if a cyclist is really obstructing pedestrian traffic, you should calmly ask him to get off his vehicle and walk a bit, reminding him of the rule that has been in place for two years to regulate relations between cyclists and pedestrians.
