A passenger car driver passes a bicycle crossing without stopping even though a bicycle is crossing on it. What is the traffic penalty?
When bicycles or personal mobility devices are using a bicycle crossing, drivers must make a temporary stop before it (at the stop line if there is one) (Article 15-2(3) of the Road Traffic Act). The traffic penalty differs by vehicle type, so check which vehicle category a passenger car falls into (Enforcement Decree, Appended Table 8).
