If you're riding a moped, can you use the lane designated for bicycles?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. No.
Explanation
In the photo there is a wide street whose right-hand edge has been marked out with a solid line as a cycle lane with a bicycle symbol; next to the roadway there is board F-10 showing the directions of travel in the lanes. When riding a moped, you are not allowed to use a cycle lane - answer C.
A cycle lane is a part of the roadway intended for bicycle traffic in one direction, marked with the appropriate signs. A moped is not a bicycle - it is a vehicle with an engine that reaches 45 km/h, so in a cycle lane it would create danger for cyclists. The regulations do not provide for an exception "up to the nearest junction" (answer A) or for riding in this lane with particular caution (answer B). You also must not stop in it with a vehicle other than a bicycle. On a moped you ride on the roadway, as close to its right-hand edge as possible, and when turning right you let cyclists going straight on in the cycle lane go first.
