    When cycling on a footpath in a parkway, it is important for cyclists to give way to pedestrians.

Yielding to pedestrians helps prevent accidents and promotes a harmonious sharing of the space between cyclists and pedestrians. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

    A. Slow down, and look both ways, giving way to any other cyclists.
    Explanation
    When approaching this lane marking, it is important to slow down and look both ways, giving way to any other cyclists. This is because the lane marking indicates a potential merging point with a cycle lane, and it is crucial to ensure the safety of all cyclists on the road. By slowing down and looking both ways, you can assess the situation and allow any other cyclists to pass before proceeding. This promotes a safe and cooperative cycling environment.

    You are to turn right at this crossing. After turning right, which lane should you be in?

    • Left

    • Right

    Correct Answer
    A. Left
    Explanation
    After turning right at the crossing, you should be in the left lane. This is because when making a right turn, it is important to position your vehicle in the lane closest to the right-hand side of the road. By being in the left lane after the turn, you ensure that you are in the correct position and allow other vehicles to safely pass you on the right.

    When riding at night, front and rear lights are legally required (not flashing, but steady/static). What else is recommended? (MARK TWO ANSWERS)

    • Bell

    • High Visibility Jacket

    • Reflectors

    • Cyclecomputer

    • Mobile Telephone

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. High Visibility Jacket
    A. Reflectors
    Explanation
    When riding at night, it is not only legally required to have front and rear lights, but it is also recommended to wear a high visibility jacket and have reflectors on your bike. A high visibility jacket helps increase your visibility to other road users, making it easier for them to see you in the dark. Reflectors on your bike also enhance visibility by reflecting light from car headlights or streetlights. These additional safety measures help to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure that you are easily seen by others while riding at night.
