An adult is riding a bicycle on a road without a bicycle track, and the roadway ahead is blocked by road works so it cannot be used. Which is correct?
💡 Hint
Bicycles use the roadway as a rule, but there is an exception that lets even adults ride on the sidewalk when the road cannot be used because of damage or construction (Article 13-2(4) of the Road Traffic Act). Check which part of the sidewalk to use, at what speed, and what to do when there are pedestrians.
Answer: ①
Explanation
Under Article 13-2(4)3 of the Road Traffic Act, even an adult may ride a bicycle on the sidewalk when the road cannot be used because of damage or road works. The rider must then go slowly on the roadway side of the sidewalk's center (or where signs indicate) and stop temporarily if obstructing pedestrians. Crossing the centerline into the opposite lane is a dangerous violation.
