Question 4311
May bicycle riders over the age of 14 ride on the shoulders of high-capacity divided highways (autovías)?
- Yes, as long as it is a pedal-assist bicycle.
- Yes, unless signs prohibit their access.
- No, because bicycles are prohibited in all cases from riding on freeways (autopistas) and high-capacity divided highways (autovías).
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, unless signs prohibit their access.
A cyclist over 14 may ride on the shoulder of a high-capacity divided highway (autovía) unless a sign prohibits bicycles from entering that section. Freeways (autopista), however, are always off-limits to cyclists.
