In this part, we briefly mention general rules for cyclists.

traffic lights

6.5. If the traffic light signal is made in the form of a silhouette of a pedestrian (bicycle), then its effect applies only to pedestrians (cyclists). At the same time, the green signal allows, and the red one prohibits the movement of pedestrians (cyclists).

To regulate the movement of cyclists, a traffic light with round signals of reduced size, supplemented by a white rectangular plate measuring 200 x 200 mm with the image of a black bicycle, can also be used.

Maneuvering signals

8.1. Before starting to move, changing lanes, turning (turning) and stopping, the driver is obliged to give signals with light indicators for the direction of the corresponding direction, and if they are missing or defective - by hand. When performing a maneuver, there should not be a danger to movement, as well as interference with other participants. traffic.

The signal of a left turn (reversal) corresponds to the left arm extended to the side or the right arm extended to the side and bent at the elbow at a right angle upwards. The right turn signal corresponds to the right arm extended to the side or the left arm extended to the side and bent at the elbow at a right angle upwards. The brake signal is given by the left or right hand raised up.

8.2. Signaling by direction indicators or by hand must be done in advance of the start of the maneuver and stop immediately after its completion (hand signaling can be completed immediately before the maneuver is performed). At the same time, the signal should not mislead other road users.

Light fixtures

19.1. At night and in conditions of insufficient visibility, regardless of road lighting, as well as in tunnels, a moving vehicle must turn on the following lighting devices:

• on all motor vehicles and mopeds - high or low beam headlights, on bicycles - headlights or lanterns, on horse-drawn carts - lanterns (if any);
• on trailers and towed motor vehicles - clearance lights.

What is the maximum speed of the cyclist?

The maximum speed of a cyclist is limited to the same extent as for other vehicles. In the city it is forbidden to exceed the established limit of 60 km/h, in yards and residential areas the speed limit is not more than 20 km/h. V without fail cyclists are required to obey the speed limit signs.

In addition, a cyclist can reach speeds above 25 km / h only with the help of his own strength, since in accordance with the definition of “Bicycle”, the speed developed by a bicycle electric motor cannot exceed 25 km / h.

Location of cyclists on the road

The requirements for the movement of cyclists are set out in a special chapter of the Rules of the Road - “24. Additional requirements for the movement of cyclists and moped drivers. This part requires special attention.

For cyclists over the age of 14

24.1. The movement of cyclists over the age of 14 must be carried out on a bicycle, cycle path or lane for cyclists.

Important. This paragraph establishes the obligation for cyclists over 14 years of age to move along a specially allocated section of the road, if available. Movement on other elements of the road is prohibited. All subsequent paragraphs establishing a different location of cyclists on the road are sequence of exceptions from the first paragraph.

Driving on the right side of the road

The first exception is that cyclists are allowed on the right side of the road- in the following cases:

• there are no bicycle and bicycle paths, a lane for cyclists or there is no possibility to move along them;
• the overall width of the bicycle, trailer to it or the transported cargo exceeds 1 m;
• the movement of cyclists is carried out in columns;

And so, if there is no special dedicated section of the road for the movement of bicycles, the cyclist must first of all move along the right edge of the carriageway.

Roadside driving

The second exception is roadside traffic:

• in the event that there are no bicycle and bicycle paths, a lane for cyclists, or there is no possibility to move along them or along the right edge of the carriageway;

Driving on a sidewalk or footpath

The third exception is on a sidewalk or footpath:

• there are no bicycle and bicycle paths, a lane for cyclists or there is no possibility to move along them, as well as on the right edge of the carriageway or roadside;
• the cyclist accompanies a cyclist under the age of 7 or transports a child under the age of 7 in an extra seat, in a bicycle carriage or in a trailer designed to be used with a bicycle.

As you can see, driving on a sidewalk or footpath is an extreme case for cyclists. Be careful to follow this sequence when defining a road element for cycling.

For cyclists aged 7 to 14

24.3. The movement of cyclists aged 7 to 14 years should be carried out only on sidewalks, pedestrians, bicycles and bicycles. footpaths as well as within pedestrian zones.

Cyclists under the age of 14 are prohibited from driving on the roadway and on the side of the road.

For cyclists under the age of 7

24.4. The movement of cyclists under the age of 7 years should be carried out only on sidewalks, pedestrian and bicycle paths (on the side for pedestrian traffic), as well as within pedestrian zones.

Cyclists under the age of 7 must ride on the section of the road designated for pedestrian traffic.

Rules for the movement of cyclists on the roadway

24.5. When cyclists move along the right edge of the carriageway in cases provided for by these Rules, cyclists should only move in one line.

It is allowed to move a column of cyclists in two rows in case if the overall width of the bicycles does not exceed 0.75 m.

The column of cyclists must be divided into groups of 10 cyclists in the case of a single-row movement or into groups of 10 pairs in the case of a two-row movement. For easier overtaking the distance between groups should be 80 - 100 m.

Rules for the movement of cyclists on the sidewalk and pedestrian zones

24.6. If the movement of a cyclist on a sidewalk, footpath, curb or within pedestrian zones endangers or interferes with the movement of other persons, the cyclist must dismount and be guided by the requirements provided for in these Rules for the movement of pedestrians.

On the pavement, pedestrians and other persons have full priority over cyclists. This also applies to crossing roads and crossing exits from adjacent areas when a cyclist is moving on a sidewalk.

Cyclists are not allowed

• ride a bicycle, moped without holding the steering wheel with at least one hand;
• transport cargo that protrudes more than 0.5 m in length or width beyond the dimensions, or cargo that interferes with control;
• to carry passengers, if it is not provided for by the design vehicle;
• transport children under 7 years of age in the absence of specially equipped places for them;
• turn left or turn around on roads with tram traffic and on roads with more than one lane for traffic in this direction;
• drive on the road without a fastened motorcycle helmet (for moped drivers).
• cross the road at pedestrian crossings.

Let us highlight the prohibition of turning left on roads with more than one lane in a given direction and the location of the cyclist before the turn.

Before making a maneuver, a cyclist who is a driver must take.

8.5. Before turning right, left or U-turn, the driver is obliged to take the appropriate extreme position in advance on the carriageway intended for movement in this direction ...

Another important point Cyclists are not allowed to cross the road at pedestrian crossings. In case of violation of this requirement the cyclist has no advantage in traffic.

It is forbidden to tow bicycles and bicycles.

24.9. It is forbidden to tow bicycles and mopeds, as well as towing by bicycles and mopeds, except for towing a trailer intended for use with a bicycle or moped.

Motorway traffic is prohibited.

16.1. On motorways it is prohibited:

• movement of pedestrians, pets, bicycles, mopeds, tractors and self-propelled machines, other vehicles, the speed of which according to technical specification or as less than 40 km/h;

Privileges for cyclists

April 15, 2015 in the Rules of the Road, allowing the movement of bicycles in a dedicated lane for shuttle vehicles.

18.2. On roads with a lane for route vehicles, marked with signs 5.11, 5.13.1, 5.13.2, 5.14, it is prohibited to move and stop other vehicles (with the exception of school buses and vehicles used as a passenger taxi, as well as cyclists - if the lane for fixed-route vehicles is located on the right) on this lane.

This right can only be exercised if there are no cycle and cycle paths or lanes for cyclists.

Will they lose their driver's license if they are caught drunk on a bicycle?

Many cyclists mistakenly believe that cycling is not responsible. Despite the fact that the regulatory authorities pay minimal attention to cyclists, the law still provides for liability for driving while intoxicated. At the beginning of the article, we noted that a bicycle is a vehicle, and a cyclist is a driver.

The rules expressly prohibit driving any vehicle while intoxicated.

2.7. The driver is prohibited from:

• drive a vehicle while intoxicated (alcoholic, narcotic or otherwise), under the influence of medicines, impairing reaction and attention, in a painful or tired state, endangering traffic safety;

Can you lose your driving license if you are caught drunk on a bicycle? Let us turn to the article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, according to which drunk drivers are punished:

1. Driving a vehicle by a driver who is in a state of intoxication, if such actions do not contain a criminally punishable act, -

shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of thirty thousand rubles with deprivation of the right to drive transport vehicles for a term of one and a half to two years.

At first glance it seems that the article is entirely suitable for cyclists and employees may try to draw on it. However, cycling does not require a special right to drive and obtaining, as well as deprivation of such a right, is in no way connected with driving a bicycle. For cyclists, the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for a special article defining liability.

Please note that if you drive a scooter or moped while intoxicated, the application of this article is completely legal. The only exception for this article is cyclists.

Fines for cyclists

Article 12.29. Violation of the Rules of the Road by a pedestrian or other person participating in the process of road traffic

2. Violation of the Rules of the Road by a person driving a bicycle, or by a carrier or other person directly involved in the process of road traffic (with the exception of the persons specified in paragraph 1 of this article, as well as the driver of a vehicle), -
eight hundred rubles.

3. Violation of the Rules of the road by persons specified in part 2 of this article, committed in a state of intoxication, -
entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of from one thousand to one thousand five hundred rubles.

Violations of the Rules of the Road discussed in this article for a cyclist will cost 800 rubles, and in case of a violation while intoxicated, from 1000 to 1500 rubles.

Cyclist - driver of a vehicle Fundamentals of life safety Completed by: OBZH teacher, Beresnev Alexey Alexandrovich

I. Bicycle History First two wheeler was invented in Russia in 1801 by master Artamonov and was called SCOOTER. It was made entirely of iron, weighed 40 kg and rolled by itself, unless, of course, the rider pedaled attached to the large front wheel.

II. Types of bikes For normal road riding For long-distance highway riding For off-road riding, for downhill travel Convenient for traveling For tricks and jumps Like a road bike, folds compactly for portability and storage

III. A bicycle is a simple and convenient machine capable of trouble-free operation on any road, under various climatic conditions. Bicycling does not require a special permit. BUT - just like motorists, cyclists are equated to equal road users; BUT - the bike is the most dangerous view transport, as it is unstable when moving, and the cyclist is not protected, like the driver of a car, by a body or a cabin. A cyclist must: know the rules of the road well so as not to become the culprit of a traffic accident and learn how to ride a bicycle perfectly.

A bicycle is a vehicle. The rules of the road stipulate that the minimum age for riding a bicycle on public roads must be 14 completed years.

Face, bicycle driver must: check the technical condition of the vehicle, in particular the steering and brake system.

The movement of the bicycle should be carried out only on the extreme right lane (no further than 1 meter from the curb). Sidewalks and footpaths are allowed to be driven on if this does not interfere with pedestrians. 1 meter

It is allowed to transport children on a bicycle: if the child is under 7 years old; in the case of an additional special seat equipped with reliable footrests.

Do not: Drive if the brake system is faulty or steering. Carry a load that protrudes beyond the dimensions of the bicycle, interfering with control, by more than 0.5 m. Ride without holding the steering wheel with at least one hand.

It is forbidden to tow a bicycle, except for towing with a trailer. It is forbidden to turn left or turn around on roads with tram traffic and on roads with more than one lane for traffic in this direction; It is forbidden to drive on the main road if there is a bike path nearby.

If a bicycle breaks down, you need to drive it along the road, going in the same direction as the traffic. At an unregulated intersection bike path with the road (if this intersection is not at an intersection), cyclists must give way to vehicles moving on this road.

The regulation concerning cycling groups states that columns of cyclists on the carriageway must be divided into groups of 10 cyclists. The distance between groups should be 80-100 meters. 10 cyclists

Think and answer: Which group of road signs does this sign in the picture belong to?

Think and answer: Which of the signs prohibits cycling?

Road signs Of the warning signs for cyclists, all signs are more or less important, so you need to know them. Most warning signs are in the form of an equilateral triangle with a red border and a white or yellow background.

Of the prohibition signs (most of them are a circle with a red border and a white or yellow background), one is specifically addressed to cyclists: sign 3.9 “No cycling” In addition to this sign, you should also pay attention to: sign 3.1 “No entry”

Sign 3.17.2 "Danger" Sign 3.18.2 "No left turn" Sign 3.18.1 "No right turn"

Sign 3.31 "End of the zone of all restrictions" Sign 3.2 "Movement is prohibited"

Mandatory signs are important for the cyclist all, but especially the sign 4.5 "Bicycle path". This is the second sign addressed specifically to cyclists. Only bicycles and mopeds are allowed on the bike path, and if there is no sidewalk or footpath, then pedestrians.

Almost everything is related to informational signs for cyclists. Some service marks are related to road transport. The rest are relevant for cyclists.

Bicyclist signals A cyclist intending to make a turn or stop must give certain signals: a left turn signal corresponds to the left arm extended to the side, a right turn signal corresponds to the right arm extended to the side (or the left arm bent at the elbow upwards)

Bicyclist signals The rules allow you to raise your opposite arm with respect to the direction of the turn, bent at the elbow at a right angle upwards, but in order for your gestures to be understood unambiguously, it is recommended to extend your arm in the direction of the turn, since the cyclist generally does not care which arm to tear off from the steering wheel.

Signals from a cyclist The brake signal is given with a raised hand. The hand signal must be given well in advance of the start of the maneuver and may be terminated immediately before the maneuver.

According to statistics, a cyclist on the road is five times more likely to be involved in a traffic accident than a car driver. The analysis of accidents involving cyclists shows that most of them occur as a result of cyclists' apparent disregard for the rules of maneuvering on the roads, timely warning signals and the right of way of other vehicles.

So prerequisite riding on the streets and roads is a clear knowledge of the cyclist "Rules of the road" and strict compliance with their requirements.

( ArticleToC: enabled=yes )

Everyone who gets behind the wheel of a bicycle becomes a road user. Therefore, the requirements for it are as strict as for car drivers and motorcycle drivers.

To ensure the safety of themselves and others, the drivers of these vehicles must follow the rules.

Number of wheeled vehicles that are driven muscle strength man, is growing year by year. They are bought in specialized stores and rented: they go to work, take kids to kindergarten, take walks and shopping trips, and simply use them to maintain health.

Therefore, in order to avoid confusion on the roads, cyclists must follow the rules.

In European countries, this type of transport is perhaps the most popular. Denmark, Germany, Holland, Belgium are leaders in their passion. There is a developed network of bicycle paths, special traffic lights have been installed, which confirms the attention of people to a mobile vehicle. In Denmark, for example, a car is now considered a luxury, and the bicycle has occupied a significant niche among the means of transportation. This is explained by the introduction of a high tax on the purchase of a car, which exceeds the cost of the car itself. Added to this was the introduction of parking fees. So this means of transportation has gained popularity, which is used to travel to places that cannot be reached on foot and by car, it is allowed to drive into the center of large cities. Riding on such transport is also good for health.

The benefits of this vehicle:

• price - it is much lower than for other modes of transport;
• there is no need to buy gasoline, the prices of which are quite high;
• small dimensions;
• there are no problems associated with traffic jams on city roads during peak hours;
• speed. It, in comparison with motorcycles and cars, is lower, however, thanks to mobility, it is faster to get to the right time by bike;
• pedaling turns into a kind of plus: it helps to pump up the muscles of the legs;
• stay on fresh air(where there are no exhaust gases) turns into another plus for health;
• riding focuses attention, helps a person to concentrate.

The list of main advantages turned out to be rather big.

But the same cannot be ignored about the shortcomings:

• storage problem;
• insufficient number of parking lots in cities and equipped paths;
• seasonality, i.e. in rainy weather and winter time this transport is inefficient.

China dominates among the main manufacturers - a huge number of factories for the assembly and production of cheap and mobile vehicles are concentrated there. But, do not rush to find fault with the manufacturer - a lot of good words have been said about its products, moreover, in comparison with eminent European manufacturers, mobile transport costs much less.

The fact that there are up to a billion fans in the world to ride "with the breeze" testifies to many things, and that people have thought about the environment and thus are fighting air pollution.

Negative consequences of the popularity of cars

• pollute air;
• require significant financial investments, including for current and scheduled repairs;
• make a lot of noise;
• long time spent behind the wheel is the cause of the development of certain diseases;
• low mobility of the driver leads to the same problems.

These problems are not familiar to those who have chosen mobile transport. If it is further popularized, it will become the transport of the future, especially considering how quickly production is developing, how many new models and gadgets have been developed for it.

Excerpts from chapter 6 of the rules for cyclists

The chapter spells out the rules that must be clearly observed when leaving your own home, when the driver turns into full member road traffic.

What are the rules for cyclists

The rules of the road (Chapter 6 "Requirements for drivers of mopeds and bicycles") clearly regulate the behavior of cyclists who have left their homes and find themselves on the roads.

Consider the basic rules prescribed in this chapter:

6.1 On bicycles on the roadway, the rules are allowed to move citizens who have reached the age of fourteen.

Children over the age of 14 may ride alone on the roads in accordance with the rules. The rules allow minors to move only on sidewalks. And for those who are not even 7 years old, you can ride only under the supervision of adults.

6.2. The mobile transport in question must be equipped with light reflectors- this is another rule of the cyclist. The color of the reflector installed in front is white, the reflector is mounted at the back red, on the sides - orange. The regulations require that, in addition to reflectors, there should be sound signal.

6.3. If the traffic takes place in conditions of limited visibility, in particular at night, the rules require that the use of lights installed in front and behind, which will help to mark the vehicle on the roadway.

6.4. The following rule: in order not to interfere with traffic participants when moving in a group, you need to go in a chain, i.e. one after another. If the column is moving, then the cyclists are divided into groups, 10 people each, and move, keeping a distance of 80-100 meters between groups. According to the rules, the distance between the “drivers” themselves is maintained at least 1.5 meters. Compliance with this rule will help drivers of other vehicles move freely, avoiding traffic jams.

6.5. It is allowed to transport loads of such dimensions that do not interfere with the control of the bicycle. The rules allow the transport of goods on a special trunk or trailer, but do not provide for the transportation of oversized cargo.

• drive vehicles with a faulty signal, brakes, no lighting (at night), as well as in poor visibility;
• You can’t ride on the roadway if there is a bike path nearby;
• move along the paths for pedestrians (except for children's bicycles);
• hold onto another vehicle while driving;
• drive without holding the steering wheel or taking your feet off the pedals;
• transporting adults (children under 7 years old) on an additional seat is allowed, provided that
• that the seat is equipped with footrests);
• it is not allowed by the rules of cyclists to tow bicycles, mopeds, trailers (except as specified above).

Rules: where the vehicle is allowed to go

On the roadway, you are required to drive (according to the rules) as close as possible to the right side of the road. Often parked cars that need to be bypassed prevent this rule from being fulfilled, which is very risky from the point of view of traffic moving behind and from the side of the driver of a parked car, who can open the door in front of the cyclist’s nose without noticing his approach.

If during the trip a breakdown occurs, an injury occurs, or just a person is tired and wants to walk, he turns into a pedestrian, even walking with a vehicle. Now he must move, according to the rules, along the edge of the left shoulder - towards moving vehicles, so that in case of danger, he can quickly react.

How is the bike lane marked?

If there is a bike path, you need to move only on it.

Its presence is indicated road sign provided by the rules:

In the absence of a sign, markings are applied to the bike path indicating the direction of movement (stated by the rules).

If it is, then the rules of cyclists prohibit movement on the roadway. So far, there are few paths in our country, so cyclists roam along with trucks and cars, so the issue of personal safety is extremely relevant.

What you need to know to stay safe on the roads

• Driving on the roads is dangerous because cyclists may not be seen at night. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to wear brighter cycling clothing and equip your vehicle with reflective elements, as required by the rules for cyclists, section 6.2. The taillight must be turned on in accordance with paragraph 6.3 of the rules for cyclists. A bicycle lamp is attached to the handlebar, powered by a battery or batteries.
• The headlight will help you notice vehicles from afar and illuminate the path.
• Headlights often have different functions: continuous glow, flashing.
• In order not to risk turning back, equip your mobile vehicle with a rear-view mirror by attaching it to the steering wheel. This simple accessory will help you focus on the road.
• Another point of the rules aimed at preserving the health of the cyclist is the mandatory wearing of a helmet that will protect the head in case of a fall, from which even an experienced driver is not immune. After all, circumstances do not always depend on his experience and skills.

Do cyclists need a license?

Until now, this has not been required, but the State Duma has already raised this issue, to which the owners of the "iron horses" reacted ambiguously. Most of them reacted negatively to this decision. But, the measures were caused by a global violation of the rules, unwillingness to equip your vehicle accordingly, neglect of safety rules - wearing reflective clothing and a helmet.

The rights will help improve the culture of these drivers, as well as apply fines to them for violations. But, not only they are to blame for accidents on the roads, so it would be desirable to start building bike paths, about which there is no news yet.

When the law is passed, it will be possible to move around only with a certificate similar to the rights of a motorist. But, given the increased interest in bicycles, the introduction of compulsory training for obtaining a license could be the reason why the demand for bicycles will fall.

The rules for cyclists provide gestures to help determine which maneuver they will perform.

Hands act as car headlights:

• when they lift her up right side- there will be a turn to the right;
• raising his hand up, the driver will continue to move in a straight line;
• do not turn left - it is forbidden.

What to do if you can't turn left. In this case, they reach the nearest underground or ground crossing and cross the road, dismounting. If you find it difficult to make signs with your hands, get an electronic system that indicates turns. Inform your colleagues on the road in advance about upcoming maneuvers so that they can find their bearings in time.

Video: Cyclist standing in a traffic jam

Good afternoon, dear reader.

As soon as sufficiently warm weather sets in over the central part of Russia, the number of two-wheeled vehicles increases significantly. Hundreds of drivers of bicycles and mopeds appear on the city streets and pour into the dense traffic flow.

In my experience, at least 80 percent of drivers of non-licensed two-wheelers have absolutely no idea about and hit the road completely unprepared.

Traffic rules for bicycles

Consider traffic rules for bicycles. With a cursory review of the text, it may seem that traffic rules for cyclists are concentrated exclusively in section 24 of the rules "". However, in reality, things are completely different.

In the rules of the road, there are several types of road users to which a particular paragraph of the rules may apply. Among others, this motor vehicle, vehicle and driver. An unpowered bicycle is not a motorized vehicle, but all the points relating to drivers and vehicles apply to cyclists as well.

Attention! Rules relating to pedestrians do not apply to cyclists. They apply only to persons riding a bicycle.

In this way most traffic rules apply to cyclists, including the special 24 section. I will not disassemble and explain absolutely everything for cyclists in this article. The interested reader can do it himself. I will focus only on those points of the rules that are most often violated by cyclists.

Technical condition of the bike

2.3. The driver of the vehicle must:

2.3.1. Before leaving, check and ensure the correct technical condition of the vehicle on the way in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles for operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety (hereinafter - the Basic Provisions).

Do not drive in the event of a malfunction working brake system, steering, a coupling device (as part of a road train), unlit (absent) headlights and tail lights at night or in conditions of insufficient visibility, an inactive windshield wiper on the driver's side during rain or snowfall.

So the rules of the road ban cycling, which has malfunctions of the service brake system or steering. And we are talking not just about riding a bike with broken handlebars or broken brakes.

There are "passionate" cyclists who try to reduce the weight of the bike in all sorts of ways. Including in the course is the removal of brakes and other structural elements. Punishment for such a violation is provided for by the Code of Administrative Offenses and will be discussed at the end of the article.

Alcoholic intoxication of a cyclist

Movement of cyclists over 14 years of age possibly in descending order:

1. On cycle paths, cycle paths or cycle lanes.
2. On the right side of the road.
3. Along the side.
4. On a sidewalk or footpath.

Please note that each subsequent item in the above list implies that there are no previous items.

For example, you can drive along the side of the road (paragraph 3) only if there is no cycle path or lane, and also if there is no possibility of moving along the right edge of the carriageway.

In addition, there are a few exceptions:

• You can ride on the carriageway if the width of the bike or load exceeds 1 meter.
• You can drive on the carriageway if the movement is carried out in columns.
• You can ride on the sidewalk or footpath if you are accompanying a cyclist under the age of 14 or carrying a child under the age of 7.

When driving on the roadway, the following points of the rules should be borne in mind:

24.5. When cyclists move along the right edge of the carriageway in cases provided for by these Rules, cyclists must move only one row.

A column of cyclists is allowed to move in two rows if the overall width of the bicycles does not exceed 0.75 m.

The column of cyclists must be divided into groups of 10 cyclists in the case of a single-lane movement or into groups of 10 pairs in the case of a two-lane movement. To facilitate overtaking, the distance between groups should be 80 - 100 m.

Additional Information:

Movement of cyclists aged 7 to 14 possible on sidewalks, pedestrian, bicycle and bicycle paths, as well as within pedestrian zones.

Please note that "school cyclists" are not allowed to ride on cycle lanes, carriageways and shoulders.

Movement of cyclists under the age of 7 possible only together with pedestrians (on sidewalks, pedestrian and bicycle paths, pedestrian zones).

Thus, in 2020, the movement of cyclists is possible, including on sidewalks and roadsides. In this case, the rules of the cyclist impose additional requirements:

24.6. If the movement of a cyclist on a sidewalk, footpath, curb or within pedestrian zones endangers or interferes with the movement of other persons, the cyclist must dismount and be guided by the requirements provided for by these Rules for the movement of pedestrians.

I note that when driving on sidewalks, footpaths, roadsides and pedestrian zones, a cyclist should not interfere with the movement of other persons. If necessary, the cyclist must get off the bike and continue as a pedestrian.

Let's consider an interesting example. Suppose a car (in some cases it is allowed by the rules) and a cyclist are driving on the sidewalk. If a collision (accident) occurs, then both road users will be to blame for it. If the cyclist walks along the sidewalk, then he will not be to blame for the accident (he will not pay for car repairs).

Thus, paragraph 24.6 emphasizes that in the case sidewalk accident one of his culprits in any case will be a cyclist.

Dedicated lanes for cyclists

In 2020, on the roads you can find dedicated lanes for cyclists, marked with special signs:

These lanes are restricted to bicycles and mopeds.

Dedicated lanes for public transport

In addition, in 2020, cyclists can also use dedicated lanes for public transport. Clause 18.2 of the Rules:

18.2. On roads with a lane for route vehicles, marked with signs 5.11.1, 5.13.1, 5.13.2 and 5.14, the movement and stopping of other vehicles on this lane are prohibited, except for:
...
On lanes for route vehicles cyclists allowed if such a strip is located on the right.

Please note that a cyclist can enter a public transport lane only if this lane is marked with one of the signs listed above. In addition, there should be no additional conditions prohibiting entry into the specified lane.

For example, in some Russian cities the traffic is organized as follows. In fact, the road has a dedicated lane for route vehicles and all traffic participants understand this. However, from the point of view of traffic rules, the lane is not indicated by the signs listed above. Just at the entrance to it, a sign 3.1 "brick" is installed.

The requirements of this sign can be ignored only by public transport drivers. The rest of the vehicles, including cyclists, cannot pass under the "brick".

Additional Information:

Cycling areas

On December 14, 2018, the concept of "Bicycle zone" appeared in the rules of the road. The following road signs are used to indicate the bike zone:

Not only cyclists, but also motor vehicles (cars) can move along the bicycle zone. In this case, the following rules must be observed:

• Cyclists have priority over cars.
• Cyclists can move along the entire passing side of the carriageway, and not just at the right edge.
• Bicyclists are not prohibited from turning left and making U-turns on wide roads.
• The speed limit is 20 km/h.
• Pedestrians can cross the road anywhere, but they do not have an advantage.

For more information about bike zones, see the following article:

Bicycle riders must yield to pedestrians at crossings

14.1. The driver of a vehicle approaching an unregulated pedestrian crossing, is obliged to give way to pedestrians crossing the road or entering the carriageway (tram tracks) to cross.

A bicycle, like any other vehicle, must slow down or stop before crossing to let pedestrians through.

Lights for bicycles

At night, the bicycle must have headlights or lights on, and during daylight hours, dipped headlights or daytime running lights:

19.1. At night and in conditions of insufficient visibility, regardless of road lighting, as well as in tunnels, a moving vehicle must turn on the following lighting devices:

on all motor vehicles and mopeds - high or low beam headlights, on bicycles - headlights or lanterns, on horse-drawn carts - lanterns (if any);

19.5. During daylight hours, all moving vehicles must turn on dipped beam headlights or daytime running lights to identify them.

So far, I have not met a single cyclist who uses low beam headlights or daytime running lights when driving during the day. In this regard, traffic police officers can impose a fine on almost any bicycle driver.

Age to ride a bike

Bicycling is allowed at any age. However, depending on the age, the rules for cycling differ (this was discussed above).

Movement on the carriageway of roads is possible only from from 14 years old.

Prohibitions for cyclists

24.8. Cyclists and moped drivers are prohibited from:

• ride a bicycle, moped without holding the steering wheel with at least one hand;
• transport cargo that protrudes more than 0.5 m in length or width beyond the dimensions, or cargo that interferes with control;
• to transport passengers, if this is not provided for by the design of the vehicle;
• transport children under 7 years of age in the absence of specially equipped places for them;
• turn left or turn around on roads with tram traffic and on roads with more than one lane for traffic in this direction (except when it is allowed to turn left from the right lane, and except for roads located in bicycle zones);
• move on the road without a fastened motorcycle helmet (for moped drivers);

24.9. It is forbidden to tow bicycles and mopeds, as well as towing by bicycles and mopeds, except for towing a trailer intended for use with a bicycle or moped.

From this list, the following points should be noted:

1. Bicycle riders are prohibited from turning left and turning around on roads with more than one lane in a given direction. Those. a left turn in the city is prohibited for a cyclist on almost all major streets.

Note. This requirement does not apply to cycling zones, as well as on roads where a left turn is allowed from the rightmost lane.

In practice, we can offer the following way out of this situation. The cyclist leaves his vehicle and becomes a pedestrian. Then he crosses the intersection in the required direction on the pedestrian crossing. After that, he again sits on the bike and continues to move along the roadway or roadside.

So the fines for cyclists are currently nothing compared to (30,000 rubles for driving while intoxicated). In addition, the advantage of cyclists on the road is that they are rarely fined for violating traffic rules. And this, in turn, leads to the fact that most of the "two-wheeled" behave unpredictably on the road, provoking the emergence of dangerous situations.

On this consideration of the features finished. Once again I remind you that every cyclist needs to read the full version at least once.

Well, in conclusion, I suggest you watch a short video that clearly demonstrates what a violation of traffic rules for cyclists can lead to:

Good luck on the roads!

As for the sign 3.9 "Movement on bicycles is prohibited." The rules for this sign include the following paragraph:

Signs 3.2 - 3.9, 3.32 and 3.33 prohibit the movement of the respective types of vehicles in both directions.

Those. if the sign is installed to the right of the carriageway, then movement along the entire carriageway is prohibited.

GOST R 52289-2004 gives the following information about sign 3.9:

5.4.29. Signs 3.2 - 3.9, 3.32 and 3.33 are installed at each entrance to a section of road or territory where the movement of the corresponding types of vehicles is prohibited. Before side exits to the road, signs are used with one of the plates 8.3.1 - 8.3.3.

No additional information This sign is not in the regulations.

If stick general principles installation of prohibition signs, they prohibit movement to their left. That is, if there is a sidewalk to the right of the sign, then you can drive along it.

Difficulty can arise if the sidewalk is adjacent to the roadway, and the poles are installed to the right of the sidewalk. In this case, the sign is located to the right of the entire road and an incomprehensible situation arises. If you are faced with a similar situation in practice, then it makes sense to write an appeal to the traffic police with a request to clarify the traffic order or change the traffic pattern on this section of the road.

Good luck on the roads!

A cyclist is prohibited from turning left or turning around on roads with tram traffic and on roads with more than one lane for traffic in a given direction.

Your comment says that almost nowhere you can turn left. Why? This direction is a left turn or U-turn. If the roadway has 3 lanes in each direction, and a left turn (and a U-turn, if not prohibited) is allowed only from the left lane, where is it written that you cannot turn from the third lane? In this direction only from one lane. Either the rules are written crookedly, or those who read them do not understand what is written. Read carefully. For those who turn left, the direction straight or right is not a given. It is generally absent for him, he does not go there.

Where is it written that you can not turn from the third lane?

Paragraph 24.2 prohibits driving away from the right edge of the drive if the movement is carried out on the carriageway.

This direction is a left turn or U-turn

No, such a direction in the SDA is called the "intended direction of movement" (see "passing through intersections": "go in the intended direction"). "Lane in this direction" refers to all lanes for moving forward, no matter forward-left, forward-straight, or forward-right. The "lanes of this direction" are not only the "lanes of the opposite direction" and the dividing strip, but at the intersections there are also intersected ones.

Dmitry-484

Barkhudarov, you are right - traffic rules for cyclists are written by people who not only do not ride bicycles, but apparently also hate cyclists. First of all, everything is done for motorists, because the strongest and richest are primarily motorists. There are already rumors that the rights for cyclists will be introduced. Instead of reining in motorists who have become insolent to the limit, who not only massively violate rights, but in some cases deliberately try to set up a cyclist - they cut off, do not turn on the right turn signal.

Dmitry-484

Or what it takes to dismount when crossing a green light at a regulated intersection, spend a lot of time stopping, crossing on foot and re-accelerating. And all because the motorist who turns on the green is too lazy to break away from telephone conversation, too lazy to slow down and carefully see if there is someone on the zebra. He is also vice versa, when he sees a leisurely cyclist, he will not only not let him through, but will hit the gas pedal!

Are there any clarifications about cycling in underpasses and on overpass bridges? I often see that they are driving, especially on new ramps for strollers with children and disabled people, and for those who find it difficult to walk up stairs. Such ramps are shaped like a U, and often around the corner neither a pedestrian sees a cyclist, nor a cyclist sees a woman with a stroller.

Hello! About dismounting at a regulated intersection, about which they wrote a couple of posts ago, to be honest, I did not find it. But I wanted to ask about something else.

1. Does the requirement of paragraph 24.2 to move on the right edge mean that it is mandatory to move to the right if the signs / markings from the right lane allow only to the right? Judging by the context of clauses 24.8 and 8.5, probably not. After all, 24.8 does not prohibit left on single-lane doors, and 8.5 requires you to take an extreme position, not a lane, but a position. That is, it is allowed to leave from the right edge if necessary, and therefore change lanes from which you can go straight, if from the right only to the right.

2. Clause 24.2 allows movement along the side of the road only if it is impossible to move along the right edge of the RV, although for mopeds and horse-drawn carts the old wording "driving along the side of the road is allowed if it does not interfere with pedestrians." It would not be better to keep this in paragraph 24.2,

3. What does the priority of bicycles over other vehicles mean in cycle zones? Cyclists can now ignore paragraphs 8.3, 8.4, 8.8 and section 13 and not give way to other vehicles when entering an adjacent, changing lane, turning left and turning outside the intersection, exiting a secondary road, etc., respectively? I hope no.

Anna, traffic rules do not allow cyclists to use pedestrian crossings (including overground and underground).

24.8. Cyclists and moped drivers are prohibited from:

cross the road at pedestrian crossings.

So the cyclist must dismount, become a pedestrian, and only then go to the crossing.

Good luck on the roads!

OLV, Hello.

2. It is better to send such proposals directly to the Government of the Russian Federation, because It is the employees of this department who are involved in the drafting of the text of traffic rules.

3. An interesting question. Paragraph 24.11 refers to the priority of cyclists over mechanical vehicles. This paragraph does not say anything about priority at intersections. Therefore, it turns out to be unclear what exactly drivers and cyclists should be guided by at intersections (section 13 or paragraph 24.11).

Good luck on the roads!

Bicycle

The one who "arrived" faster is always to blame. Ride a bike wherever you want, just don’t interfere with anyone on purpose and don’t crash into anyone with a specialist, otherwise you will kill yourself and scratch others. "And where other people's rules begin, your personal freedom ends there"

Obviously, but incredible.

Nicholas-217

In St. Petersburg, for example, one lane of a cycle path runs along the carriageway on one side of the carriageway. This means that in one direction the cyclist must ride along the bike path, and in the opposite direction - along the edge of the carriageway. Or do you have to use the bike path in both directions? The bike path is quite narrow, it is not very comfortable for cyclists traveling towards them to pass there, although it is not very difficult.

A 14+ cyclist rides on a bike path. On the roadway - if there is a bike path - it is not allowed - p 24.2 of the SDA.

Good day! Tell me please.

If a cyclist (on a bicycle, respectively) while crossing the carriageway at a pedestrian crossing crashed into a car, then according to the rules, he is to blame. How can I claim damages for my car in this case?

Not sure if the fault lies entirely with the cyclist. To recover damages - according to Article 1064 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

There used to be a rule that cyclists should move towards the flow, that is, in the opposite direction, whatever. This wonderful rule was canceled ???

Anton-150, p 24.2 SDA admits the movement of cyclists only on the right edge of the inverter.

Tatiana-200

My husband was driving in the right lane. When turning to the right, in order to drive into the parking lot, a cyclist flew into his right side. The turn signal was on. Who is to blame in this situation?

Tatyana, the husband did not comply with the requirements of paragraph 8.5 of the SDA. It is not enough to take the right lane and turn on the turn signal. Borrow required extreme right position. Then the cyclist will not be to the right of the husband - he will be behind him. Read paragraph 8.5 of the traffic rules, about the turn signal - paragraph 8.2 of the traffic rules.

Natalia-236

Good afternoon. The question is, is it possible to get on public transport (bus) with a bicycle?

Natalia, Hello.

There are no restrictions on this in the SDA. In practice, problems also usually do not arise, the carriage of a bicycle is paid as baggage.

Did you have any problems?

Good luck on the roads!

A car from the main road was moving to the left into the courtyard, a cyclist was moving along the left side of the passing direction and crashed into the left side of the car, who is to blame?

Elena, the driver of the car violated the requirements of paragraph 8.3 of the traffic rules:

8.3. When entering the road from the adjacent territory, the driver must give way vehicles and pedestrians moving on it, and at the exit from the road - pedestrians and cyclists, the path of movement of which it crosses.

The cyclist has the right to move on the side of the road, this is not a violation.

Good luck on the roads!

Alexander-847

Regarding the drunk cyclist: there is a fine, judging by the article, for an accident while intoxicated, but just for driving, is it not? It's just forbidden, because vehicle management? And yet, traffic rules are valid on the roads, so you can drive drunk in the forest or in the field?

Alexander:

1. Part 3 of Article 12.29 of the Code of Administrative Offenses contains a punishment for a cyclist who is in a state of intoxication. It has nothing to do with the accident.

Clause 1.1 of the SDA:

1.1. These Rules of the road (hereinafter referred to as the Rules) establish a unified traffic procedure throughout the territory Russian Federation . Other regulations relating to traffic must be based on the requirements of the Rules and not contradict them.

Good luck on the roads!

Hello. Such a question: In your article, you indicate that a bicycle is a vehicle, and therefore, it is subject to traffic rules provided for all vehicles. Next, you write that the bike can move in 4 zones (bike path, right side of the carriageway, along the side of the road, along the sidewalk). Here we get a contradiction: it seems like vehicles can drive on any lane of the roadway, but a cyclist cannot. The question, in fact, is the following: is there any article that specifically prohibits the movement of a bicycle on other lanes of the road except the right one? I got into a not very pleasant situation. I was cycling on a 2 lane road. At the intersection, one could only turn right from the right lane, and from the left one could only go straight. I needed to go straight, so I changed lanes from the right lane to the left (which turned out to be in the left lane almost in the middle of the road, so the cars from the left lane turned out to be on my right hand). Just before the intersection, one of the overtaking cars hit my right pedal with the left rear disc and fender, scratching them. Who is to blame in this situation? And if it's my (the cyclist's) fault, how can I mitigate the consequences of this accident as much as possible? Can OSAGO cover these scratches for the driver? Thanks in advance!

Kirill, Hello.

1. The issues of the location of cyclists on the roadway are discussed in detail in. In short, the rules do not explicitly say that a cyclist should only ride on the right lane of the road. However, the rules suggest driving "on the right side of the roadway".

2. As for the accident, in any case, you were not at the right edge of the carriageway, but rather far from it. That is, there is a high probability that in your actions they will see a violation of paragraph 24.2 of the traffic rules.

It is not clear from your description whether any violations were committed by the driver of the car.

3. If you mean OSAGO for a car, then it does not cover damage to the car itself. Under OSAGO, they can reimburse the cost of repairing a bicycle if the driver of the car is found to be the culprit. If you are found to be the culprit and your liability is not insured (most likely it is), then you will have to pay the cost of the repair.

Good luck on the roads!

Alexander:

2. Why do you think that traffic rules are valid only on the roads?

1.1. These Rules of the Road (hereinafter referred to as the Rules) establish a unified traffic procedure throughout the Russian Federation. Other regulations relating to traffic must be based on the requirements of the Rules and not contradict them.

"Road traffic" - a set of social relations that arise in the process of moving people and goods with or without vehicles within roads.

"Road" - a strip of land or a surface of an artificial structure, equipped or adapted and used for the movement of vehicles. The road includes one or more carriageways, as well as tram tracks, sidewalks, shoulders and dividing lanes, if any.

If you want to comply with the requirements of paragraph 19.5, then install any bicycle headlight or lamp on the bike. And turn on this device while driving.

Good luck on the roads!

Valeria-22

I rode my bike on the sidewalk. A car drove out of the area and hit me. They accused me of ending me and issued a fine, guided by articles p.1.5, p.24.2, p.24.6. Question: why then does the article p.8.3 exist? I always move only on the sidewalks, because I think it's safe. Do the rules oblige me to drive only on the road or the shoulder?

I always move only on the sidewalks, because I think it's safe. Do the rules oblige me to drive only on the road or the shoulder?

Indeed, a cyclist over 14 years old is allowed to drive on the sidewalk - as an exception: p 24.2 of the SDA: when there are no bicycle and bicycle paths, a lane for cyclists, or there is no possibility to move along them, as well as along the right edge of the carriageway or roadside;

However, the movement of a cyclist on the sidewalk does not exempt the driver from complying with clause 8.3 of the SDA. You have 10 days to appeal against the APN decision. However, there is no point in appealing - you really violated traffic rules by moving along the sidewalk. But you did not write anything about determining guilt in an accident. You in an accident blame something?

Hello. I am "great". Not an athlete. I was driving along the sidewalk. A passenger car suddenly jumped out of the parking lot from around the corner of the house. I managed to slow down and turn left. The blow fell on my right side. (I am being treated ...) When I drove into this exit from the yard, I looked to the left ... Obviously, the driver of the passenger car looked to the left late. But he also slowed down, although he was going to drive to the exit onto the road. The Tyumen traffic police said that I had violated the traffic rules. And I thought that when leaving the parking lot or from the yard before entering the carriageway, the driver of the car does not have priority over the cyclist. It's good that I was in my place, and not a child on a scooter

Good luck on the roads!

Maksim, good day! Calling the 112 service, I was sent to the duty unit in the city, where they said that there was no prohibition on driving on sidewalks in the rules and “there is a lot of what they write on the Internet.” I call the traffic police for the second time. The first time no one came. I'm waiting for them again today, they said that they would come, but it doesn't spin much.

National, Hello.

If the traffic police does not respond to your complaints, then write a complaint to the prosecutor's office about the inaction of employees.

Good luck on the roads!

Adding a comment

The driver is the main figure in providing traffic.

Recall that in our country the number of cars is growing at a high pace: every year there are about 1,300,000 more cars. According to experts' forecasts, in the near future there will be 330-440 cars per 1,000 people (in 2009, this figure was 225 cars on average).

Consequently, the number of drivers is also growing rapidly. At the same time, the level of their professional training and the level of culture in the field of road safety is not very high and does not fully meet the increasing requirements for road users to ensure road safety in modern conditions (as already mentioned, more than 70% of accidents occur through the fault of drivers ).

Therefore, road safety primarily depends on the level of training of drivers and instilling in them a high sense of responsibility for personal safety and the safety of others.

For what spiritual and physical qualities driver can judge the level of his culture in the field of road safety? In our opinion, the most significant features can be distinguished:

1. Correspondence of the health status of the driver and his performance to the physical and psychological stress that occurs when driving a vehicle in the conditions of modern roads.
2. Deep knowledge of the Rules of the Road, their conscious observance and ability to apply in various situations that arise on the road.
3. Continuous improvement of professional qualities in driving.
4. Raising a sense of high responsibility for the safety of other road users (pedestrians and passengers), observance of their rights in the field of life safety.

Such qualities do not appear by themselves. They will not arise with obtaining the right to drive a vehicle. They must be brought up with school age and should serve as the foundation for the training of a modern driver, because most young people in life will become drivers of vehicles. This is evidenced by the intensive motorization of the country.

Purposefully, these qualities should be formed from the moment a person becomes a road user. From this moment, he must begin to comprehend the basics of the Rules of the Road and form a conviction in the need to comply with them constantly.

The first vehicle that a person begins to drive in school years is a bicycle. From this moment on, it is necessary to begin to cultivate the qualities of a cultural driver in oneself.

A bicycle is a vehicle that has two or more wheels and is driven by human muscle power.

Attention!
Driving a bicycle while driving on the roads The rules of the road allow persons not younger than 14 years old, and a moped - not younger than 16 years old.

Cycling is not allowed on most city streets, towns and cities. highways. Bicycle as a vehicle has its own characteristics. Firstly, it is not driven by the engine, but by the muscular efforts of the cyclist. Therefore, its speed depends on the physical fitness of the driver. Secondly, the bicycle has high maneuverability and, thirdly, it is characterized by insufficient stability. Therefore, it is necessary to seriously learn to ride a bicycle, to be prepared for various situations that may arise on the road.

It is best to learn how to ride a bicycle at a velodrome or in bicycle camps, which have now begun to be arranged in various regions of the country.

Remember!
A cyclist is a driver of a vehicle, so the same requirements apply to him as to any driver.

Everyone should know this

Before leaving, each driver is obliged to check and ensure that the vehicle is in good technical condition on the way.

Basic requirements for the technical condition of the bike

• The bike must always have serviceable brakes and a sound signal (bell).
• When driving on roads at night, the bicycle must be equipped with a white flashlight (headlight) in front, a red flashlight or reflector in the rear, and orange or red reflectors on the sides.

Bicycle riders are prohibited

• Drive when there is a malfunction in the braking system or steering.
• Ride a bike without holding on to the handlebars with at least one hand.
• Carry passengers, except for a child under the age of 7, on an additional seat equipped with reliable footrests.
• Carry cargo that protrudes more than 0.5 m in length or width beyond the dimensions of the bicycle or interferes with control.
• Move along the carriageway of the street if there is a nearby bike path.
• Turn left or turn around on roads with tram traffic and on roads with more than one lane for traffic in a given direction.
• Learn to ride a bike on city streets and highways.
• Ride on sidewalks and footpaths (a sidewalk is a road for pedestrians).

Basic duties of a cyclist

• On the road, you must keep to the extreme right lane, at a distance of no more than 1 m from the sidewalk or curb. This will ensure the safety of the cyclist.
• You can make a left turn or turn around only on roads with one lane for traffic in this direction and without tram traffic. On such roads, the carriageway has a narrow width, which allows the cyclist to make a relatively safe turn or U-turn. If it is necessary to turn left or turn around on a road with tram tracks and having more than one lane for movement in one direction, the cyclist must get off the bike and drive it with his hands, observing the rules established for pedestrians.
• If you intend to turn or stop, you must warn other road users about this in advance using hand signals. When turning left, raise to the side left hand or right arm bent at the elbow. When turning to the right, raise the right arm or the left arm bent at the elbow to the side. Before stopping, raise your right or left hand up.
• At an unregulated intersection of a cycle path with a road, you must give way to a vehicle moving on the crossed road.

By mastering and improving your skills in riding a bicycle, it is advisable not only to ride it famously, violating all the Rules of the Road, but to prepare to become a professional driver of vehicles.

It should be noted that in the Russian Federation in 1995 the Association of Youth Automobile Schools of Russia was established.

As of January 1, 2011, the Association includes youth automobile schools in 46 regions of Russia, the main of which are Moscow, Saratov, Rostov, Samara, Penza, Kursk, Perm, Stavropol, Nalchik, Kaliningrad, Ryazan, Borisoglebsk, Voronezh region and many other educational institutions.

The main task of the Association of Youth Automobile Schools of Russia is the creation of a unified holistic system for teaching the skills of safe behavior for children and adolescents, on the streets and roads, starting from the age of 5.

Youth driving schools have the status of institutions additional education. During the training, students receive professional training for drivers of vehicles.

The driver training program provides for:

• 3-year training from the age of 14;
• 2-year training from the age of 15;
• 1-year training from 16-16.5 years of age.

Youth automobile schools have an equipped educational and material base, which includes classes, teaching and methodological rooms for laboratory and practical classes, as well as educational equipment. Currently, the fleet of driving schools has over 2,000 vehicles, including more than 200 trucks. The annual renewal of the car park is up to 100 cars.

The work of youth driving schools is built taking into account the requirements of the Federal Law "On Road Safety", regional programs "On Road Safety", taking into account the requirements of the administrations of regions and cities in matters of educating the younger generation.

The following pedagogical tasks are solved in youth driving schools:

1. Raising the general level of culture of road users as a guarantee of safety.
2. Vocational training of drivers among adolescents and youth.
3. Professional orientation of young people to professions employed in the automotive industry.
4. Teaching children and adolescents the skills of safe behavior on the streets and roads, prevention of road traffic injuries.
5. Organization of free time in order to prevent neglect and delinquency among minors.
6. Improvement of civil-patriotic, aesthetic, moral, physical education.
7. Creation of autodromes, motor cities, sections, circles for children to teach safe driving on bicycles, motorcycles, cars.
8. Organization of methodological assistance to teachers of educational institutions, institutions of additional education, employees health camps, parents and public organizations on the problem of prevention of child road traffic injuries.

In conclusion, we note that reducing the number of traffic accidents, injuries and deaths on the roads depends on each person - a road user. It is possible to reduce the negative impact of the “human factor” on road safety if there is a fundamental change in the attitude of road users to the implementation of the Rules of the Road and the observance of well-known road safety measures, with the realization by each person of the fact that life and health depend largely on his behavior.

Questions

1. What factors indicate an increase in the influence of the level of training of the driver of the vehicle on road safety?
2. What qualities characterize the level of the general culture of the driver in the field of road safety?
3. What role can a bicycle play in preparing a future vehicle driver?
4. What are the basic requirements for the technical condition of the bike?
5. List the main responsibilities of a cyclist.

Exercise

From the Rules of the Road, select and remember the main provisions of what is prohibited for a bicycle driver.
