Question 6945
Is the cyclist in the photograph riding correctly?
- No, because he should be riding on the shoulder, even if it is not usable.
- Yes, because he is only required to ride next to the right edge of the roadway when a vehicle is passing him.
- Yes, because he is riding next to the right edge of the roadway.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because he is riding next to the right edge of the roadway.
Yes. The road in the picture has no usable shoulder, so the cyclist rides on the roadway, taking up only as much space as necessary next to the right edge. The cyclist does this at all times, not just when being passed. An unusable shoulder creates no obligation to use it.
