Question 2201
When cyclists are riding on the shoulder, may they leave it if safety permits?
- No, if a shoulder is available, they may never ride on the roadway.
- Yes, on long descents with curves, except on high-capacity divided highways (autovías).
- Yes, whenever they consider it appropriate.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, on long descents with curves, except on high-capacity divided highways (autovías).
On long downhill stretches with curves, cyclists may use as much of the right side of the roadway as they need if it is safe to do so. This does not apply on high-capacity divided highways.
