While riding a bicycle, you want to cross the road using a crosswalk where there is no bicycle crossing. What is the correct way?
💡 Hint
A crosswalk is for pedestrians, so the key is whether a rider of a bicycle or personal mobility device crosses on it as a RIDER or as a PEDESTRIAN (Article 13-2(6) of the Road Traffic Act). This applies regardless of whether pedestrians are present or how slowly you go; also remember the ban on riding side by side (paragraph 5).
Answer: ③
Explanation
Under Article 13-2(6) of the Road Traffic Act, a rider of a bicycle or personal mobility device crossing the road on a crosswalk must get off and walk, pushing or carrying the bicycle. Having no pedestrians around or riding slowly does not allow riding across. Paragraph 5 also forbids two or more riders traveling side by side on the roadway unless safety signs allow it.
