A cyclist wishes - without dismounting - to cross the road at a pedestrian crossing. What should you do?

You answered correctly. At a pedestrian crossing (Zebrastreifen), drivers must give way to pedestrians. Cyclists who want to cross while riding a bicycle are not considered pedestrians unless they dismount and walk their bike. However, traffic safety takes priority, so you should allow the cyclist to cross to prevent danger or confusion, even if they remain mounted. Germany’s traffic rules emphasize caution at crossings; drivers should avoid actions that endanger vulnerable road users. So, letting the cyclist cross is the safest and expected behavior in this situation. For the theory exam, always choose the safest and most considerate answer at crosswalks.
