Correct answer
With the motorcycle as upright as possible and without abrupt manoeuvres on the paint.
Conventional road paint can provide less grip, especially when wet. If it cannot be safely avoided while obeying the signs and markings, cross with the motorcycle as upright as possible and with smooth control, avoiding abrupt braking, acceleration or steering on the paint. Do not change direction to cross every marking at 90 degrees: maintain a safe path. These precautions reduce risk but do not guarantee that a skid cannot occur.
