A bicycle rack (bicycle parking device) is installed next to the sidewalk 8 meters from a crosswalk. Which statement about a cyclist leaving a bicycle there is correct?
💡 Hint
Start by recalling whether a bicycle counts as a 'vehicle' under the Road Traffic Act. Then check where the special exception to no-stopping/no-parking places (Article 34-2) applies, so you can judge the rule and the exception together.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Under Road Traffic Act Article 34-2(1)1, a bicycle may be stopped or parked at a bicycle parking device or an electric bicycle charging station even in certain prohibited places, such as within 10 meters of a crosswalk (Article 32 item 5). However, a bicycle is still a vehicle under the Act, so saying it may be left anywhere is wrong.
Legal basis: 도로교통법 제34조의2 제1항 제1호, 제32조 제5호
