BDifficulty 2/5

May a bicycle tow a cargo trailer on an interurban road at night?

Correct answer

No, it may only do so during the day

No. Article 154.5 of the General Traffic Regulations applies the bicycle and cycle transport rules to interurban roads only during daylight and when visibility is not reduced. Applicable technical and safety requirements must also be met; carrying cargo requires an adult rider. This nighttime restriction should not be generalised to every urban road, where municipal restrictions may also apply. The article 12.3 rule reducing speed by 10% for certain motor vehicles is neither a 10 km/h reduction nor a rule currently applying to bicycles.
