Question 4789

Are raised bumps in crosswalks considered obstacles in the roadway?

  1. Yes, when they are made of metal.
  2. No, as long as road safety is guaranteed for all users and especially for cyclists.
  3. Yes, because they make it harder to cross the crosswalks.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, as long as road safety is guaranteed for all users and especially for cyclists.

Speed bumps at crosswalks do not count as obstacles in the roadway if they comply with regulations and do not endanger road users, especially cyclists. They are there to make you slow down before the crosswalk.
