As a cyclist, can I cross a pedestrian crossing quickly, even with people on it?
P. Faller, Wiesendangen ZH
The law is clear that a person walking or riding a scooter on a crosswalk must give way. This means that the person should not be hindered when crossing the street. However, traffic law does not say that a bicycle (as opposed to a car) must be stopped in front of a crosswalk, nor does it specify how much distance is allowed in front of a person crossing the street. car service.
These are more a matter of decency than of law. Anyone crossing a pedestrian crossing wants to be able to do so in peace and security and not be disturbed or even frightened by cyclists. Therefore, cyclists should only cross the pedestrian crossing when it is empty.
But am I actually allowed to cross the street with my bike at the crosswalk? Is this when the sidewalk can be used by bikes on both sides? From a legal standpoint, there’s nothing wrong with that – but be careful: Cyclists, unlike pedestrians, have no priority over street traffic. Cyclists only get it if they get off the bike and push it.
