Pay attention to the mandatory signs. Is riding a bicycle on this road compliant with the regulations?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video we are riding a moped along a wide street with a strip of greenery in the middle; on the right, separated from the roadway, there is a path for pedestrians and cyclists marked with a round blue mandatory sign. On this road, a cyclist riding on the roadway would not be complying with the rules - the answer is NO.
The Road Traffic Act requires a cyclist to use a cycle path, a path for pedestrians and cyclists or a cycle lane, if they are marked for the direction in which the cyclist is travelling or intends to turn. Next to this roadway, a path for pedestrians and cyclists has been marked with a mandatory sign, so a cyclist must use it, and riding on the roadway would be a petty offence. A moped, however, must not enter a path for pedestrians and cyclists - you ride on the roadway. When riding on such a path, a cyclist gives way to pedestrians.
Legal basis: Art. 33 para. 1 and Art. 2 point 4b of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 40 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
