The French are increasingly practicing cycling daily. A way to combine a more or less sports practice and the use of non -compiler transport. But you still have to respect the road code, which is not always the case. More and more cyclists are verbalized lately.
To avoid fines, return to some questions that any cyclist can be asked on the road.
Is it possible to listen to radio or music on my bicycle?
No, finally, not with a wireless headphones or headphones, runs the risk of a flat fine of 135 euros, without point removal. It is the most given fine by the police.
Can cyclists roast the lights?
Yes, but under certain conditions. A M12 panel of so must be present in the tricolor fire.
“This Pananceau authorizes cyclists, electric motorized travel drivers (EDPM) or cyclomotor to cross the fire to borrow the direction indicated by the arrow by producing the passage to pedestrians or vehicles that benefit from the green light,” summarizes road safety.
An arrow gives the instructions that the cyclist can follow in this red light, paying attention to pedestrians and other vehicles that may have priority.
You can also find tricolor fires dedicated to cyclists, EDPM and cyclomotor controllers, with a bicycle symbol in each light.
“When the red light is on, the stop is mandatory,” says Road Safety. This is not always respected because this fire is generally not synchronized with that of cars.
“Not respecting a red bicycle light is an offensive that leads to a flat fine of 135 euros. It is the same fine as for a car but without loss of points,” says road safety.
Are cyclists subject to speed limitations?
Yes, like all road users.
“The speed of cyclists is limited on cycle routes to the same level as adjacent roads and, therefore, in general at 30 km/h in Paris.
A mandatory fastening also for these new “fat bike” bicycles that look a little more like mobiles. It is also necessary to have a sonet and lighting in good condition.
Two possible verbalizations according to the transition site of Vélo: exceed the maximum authorized speed at 35 euros and an inadequate speed with respect to the circumstances to 135 euros.
