To cyclists:
Bicycle navigation marks/bicycle navigation lines do not indicate that bicycles have the right of way or imply other legal protections for bicycles. Even if you are cycling on roads or entering intersections with bicycle navigation marks/bicycle navigation lines, you should still be very careful of cars and pedestrians.
In addition, when avoiding cars parked on the road, be sure to check whether any cars are approaching from behind you.
When entering a road or pedestrian sidewalk, be very careful of cars and pedestrians, and make sure to cycle safely.
When cycling on a pedestrian sidewalk
Cycling on a pedestrian sidewalk is never the norm. Pedestrians have the right of way, and bicycles should travel slowly and keep to the side near the road.
Even on roads that have bicycle navigation marks, a bicycle can travel on a pedestrian sidewalk
- when sidewalks have this road sign
- when the cyclist is younger than 13 or 70 and older
- when the cyclist has a physical disability
- when traveling on sidewalks is unavoidable for safety reasons.
On the sidewalk, bicycles must travel slowly while keeping to the side near the road, and come to a stop if proceeding would interfere with pedestrian traffic.
