BDifficulty 2/5

On a long descent with bends on a conventional road, may cyclists occupy the necessary right-hand part of the carriageway if safety permits?

Correct answer

Yes, the necessary right-hand part if safety permits.

Yes, under Article 36.1, in these conditions they may occupy the necessary right-hand part of the carriageway. Any gradient alone is insufficient and occupying the whole carriageway unnecessarily is not permitted. This exception does not apply on autovías: cyclists permitted to use them must remain on the shoulder. The general rule is to use a passable sufficient shoulder.
