What motorists should look for in cyclists
Road users with cars and bicycles often come together in road traffic. To ensure that motorists do not expose cyclists to unnecessary danger, we have some tips for a considerate coexistence. After all, cyclists have no crumple zone, are overlooked more quickly and are the weaker party in an emergency.
Keep at least 1.5 meters overtaking distance
Use the Dutch handle
Do not park on the bike path
Caution when turning
Pay attention to people overtaking on the right at traffic lights
What to look out for when walking
Especially in the city, people are often on foot. Keep your eyes open behind the wheel, because people on foot can easily be overlooked. It’s better to look over your shoulder once more and avoid potential accidents. The pedestrians will thank you for it.
Attention, crosswalk!
Park fair
Do not forget to look over your shoulder
Attention for bus and train
Caution at sidewalk crossings and driveways
What you should pay attention to on dirt roads
Field paths are sometimes used by cars and other motorized vehicles for trips into the countryside or as a quick shortcut. But field paths are not normal roads, but are intended for the cultivation of the adjacent fields or private garden plots and as paths for recreation seekers.
