Which TWO are cases in which a rider of a bicycle or personal mobility device may ride on the sidewalk? Select TWO
Bicycles and personal mobility devices must, as a rule, use the roadway; the sidewalk is allowed only in set exceptions based on the rider's age or physical condition, permission by a safety sign, road construction, and so on (Article 13-2(4) of the Road Traffic Act). Tell the conditions attached to the exceptions apart from mere convenience.
Answer: ①, ②
Explanation
Article 13-2(4) of the Road Traffic Act allows sidewalk riding when a child, an elderly person or a person with a disability rides a bicycle, when safety signs permit it, or when road damage or construction makes the road impassable. An elderly rider is excluded if the electric bicycle's motor is left on, and a busy roadway alone is no reason to use the sidewalk. Even on the sidewalk, the driver must drive slowly on the roadway side and make a temporary stop if pedestrians are obstructed.
