On a long downhill stretch with curves, when safety reasons allow it, may cyclists use as much of the right side of the carriageway as they need?
Traffic rules
Explanation
Cyclists have certain specific rules for riding on the road. In general, they must use the shoulder if there is no lane designated for them. However, there are important exceptions:
- On long descents with curves, cyclists can leave the shoulder and ride on the right side of the lane. This is allowed when safety conditions permit, as in these situations it is safer and more practical for cyclists to use part of the roadway.
- It is important for cyclists to always keep to the right and as close as possible to the edge of the roadway, especially on curves and crests with reduced visibility. This helps to avoid accidents and facilitates the flow of traffic.
Therefore, on a long descent with curves, cyclists can indeed ride on the right side of the roadway as needed, as long as safety conditions allow.
