Are bicycle riders required to wear a protective helmet on urban roads?
Traffic safety: Rules for the safety of people and cargo, and their identifiers
Explanation
Bicycle **riders in urban areas** are required to wear a **protective helmet** only if they are **under 16 years old**. This is because, although two or three-wheeled vehicles, such as bicycles, are less visible and more fragile, the specific regulations for bicycles in urban areas only mandate helmet use for those under 16.
In general, drivers of two or three-wheeled vehicles must wear a helmet, but in the case of bicycles in urban areas, this obligation applies only to those under 16. Additionally, it is important to remember that, in low visibility conditions, all cyclists must wear reflective clothing or accessories to improve their visibility.
