Case study
What do you do in such a situation?
During bicycle riding, you may encounter a situation in which you are in trouble or in doubt "What do you do when you are like this?" I will look at examples. From the reconfirmation of the bicycle traveling rule first.
1. The bicycle drives on the left side of the roadway.
2. When there is bikeway, pass on it.
3. In the following cases, traffic on the sidewalk is approved.
① If there is a sign of bikeway.
② When the driver is under 13 years old or over 70 years old.
③ When it is inevitable for safety.
Case 1, Is it OK to avoid turning cars at intersections?
Bicycle A is running on the left side of B car which is going to turn left at the intersection. How to proceed in order to run so that it will not be caught in B cars? There are many things to encounter the
above scenes.
Originally it is correct that the car waits until the bicycle passes, but reality is not it. In this case, many people would make a choice to go left after turning across the pedestrian crossing and returning to the roadway? However, it is limited only when there is a pedestrian crossing. If not, how are you going to cross it?
Case 2, Intersection with a left turning traffic zone
Traffic is even more complicated when there is a left turn traffic zone.
"The bicycle is on the left side of the roadway is the principle, but the left side is exclusive for the left turn, but I want to go straight ahead ..." It is a very annoying situation.
In this case, it is the correct way of traveling straight ahead in the left-turning traffic zone rather than the straight-ahead traffic zone. However, it is necessary to pay attention to vehicles turning left from the back.
I encountered the same scene and went straight, but the horn was ringing from behind the car. Even drivers who obtain driver's license are examples that many people do not correctly recognize the rules.
Case 3, While the bus stops at the bus stop, what do you do?
Judgment when the bus stops at the bus stop is one of the common cases.
Which is the right remedy to overtake from the right side of the bus being stopped, to overtake from the left side, or to wait behind as it is?
There are some people who have experienced incident and others have seen the place, such as when the bus started departing from the right side.
Case 4, What will you do? Reverse running bicycle!
Either one will swell to the side of the roadway when you pass each other. At that time, if the car just arrives from the back, there is a possibility of contact and it is very dangerous. Let's pass the speed safely by dropping or stopping the speed.
Case 5, Destination is on the right side of the traveling direction! How do you proceed?
According to the law, it is right to go on the left traffic until the destination and then cross the road. However, if you have a lot of traffic and can not cross the road, it is desirable to walk on the destination side with a nearby crosswalk and then walk the bicycle as a pedestrian. However, few people are running as the current situation.
So far I have explained bicycle rules and rules.
Next I will touch on the current situation of bicycles in Japan.
