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

When a cyclist wishes to cross at a pedestrian crossing without dismounting, German traffic rules dictate that drivers must yield the right of way to them, just like they would for pedestrians. This is important for ensuring the safety of both cyclists and pedestrians.

By allowing the cyclist to cross, you are adhering to the law that prioritizes vulnerable road users at crossing points. Interference, such as sounding the horn or continuing to drive without yielding, can lead to dangerous situations and potential accidents.

Understanding this rule is crucial for maintaining a safe traffic environment for everyone. Always remember that at pedestrian crossings, the focus should be on protecting those who are less vulnerable, like cyclists and pedestrians.
