BDifficulty 2/5

On an ordinary road allowing pedestrians, a person with a disability travels at walking pace in a wheelchair. No usable pedestrian area exists, and safety reasons justify using the right side. May they use the usable right shoulder?

Correct answer

Yes, always paying close attention and taking the necessary precautionary measures.

Yes, with the precautions applicable to pedestrians and as far from traffic as possible. The Traffic Act treats someone travelling at walking pace in a wheelchair, with or without a motor, in those conditions as a pedestrian. Article 122 exceptionally permits the right side when justified by safety. A wheelchair alone does not permit always choosing the right side or using roads where pedestrians are prohibited.
