Question 5033
On a long descent with curves, and when safety reasons allow it, may cyclists ride on the part of the right side of the roadway that they need?
- Yes.
- No, they must always use the shoulder.
- They may use the entire roadway.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes.
Yes. On a long downhill stretch with curves, if it is safe, a cyclist may leave the shoulder and use as much of the right side of the roadway as needed. The cyclist must not use the entire roadway. This exception does not apply on high-capacity divided highways (autovías), where bicycles must always use the shoulder.
