You are driving on a road that has a protective lane for cyclists. How may you use the protective lane?

In Germany, when driving on a road with a protective lane for cyclists, you are generally permitted to drive on this lane when necessary. This typically means that you can use the lane to safely overtake a cyclist or avoid an obstacle, but you should not park or stop there.

The protective lane is designed to ensure the safety of cyclists, so it's crucial to only use this lane under appropriate circumstances. Stopping or parking on such a lane is against traffic regulations and can pose a danger to cyclists. Always prioritize the safety of all road users when navigating shared spaces.
