Traffic rules
Explanation
Cyclists riding two abreast
- It is **permitted** for cyclists to ride **two abreast**, provided they keep **as far to the right as possible** on the carriageway or use the **hard shoulder** if practicable.
- They must ride **in single file** on stretches with **poor visibility** (tight bends, crests) or when **traffic conditions** make it advisable.
- In **large groups**, it is **preferable** to ride in single file so as not to **obstruct** and to improve everyone’s **safety**.
In summary: it is correct to ride two abreast if you keep to the far right edge and switch to **single file** when visibility or traffic require it.
