Question 4303
You want to pass a cyclist who is riding on the shoulder of a road. How much lateral distance must you leave?
- The distance does not matter because the cyclist is riding on the shoulder.
- One and a half meters or more.
- At least one meter.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: One and a half meters or more.
Even if the cyclist is riding on the shoulder, you must leave at least 1.5 meters of lateral clearance when passing. On a road with one lane in each direction, like the one in the image, you must use part or all of the oncoming lane to do so.
