Question 6955

If the bike lane is closed for road work, where must the cyclist ride beyond the closure?

  1. On the roadway.
  2. On the roadway or on the sidewalk; it makes no difference.
  3. On the sidewalk.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: On the roadway.

When the bike lane is closed, the cyclist continues on the roadway, like the cyclist in the picture next to the bike lane closed off with barriers. In a city, when there is no bike lane or other route for bicycles, you ride on the roadway. Sidewalks are for pedestrians, and no vehicle may travel on them.
