Regeln am Fußgängerüberweg: Wann Radfahrer am Zebrastreifen Vorrang haben
Ein typischer Aufreger im Straßenverkehr: Was fährt der dort mit dem Rad über den Fußgängerüberweg? Verboten ist das nicht. Doch es macht einen Unterschied, ob gefahren oder „gerollert“ wird.
Bike riders must yield to pedestrians at crosswalks, regardless of whether they are riding or pushing their bicycles. The Automobile Club Europe states that cyclists who dismount and push their bikes are given priority, as are those who use their feet to push off the ground. This applies to tricycles, wheelchairs, inlineskates, and similar non-motorized vehicles, which share the same priority as pedestrians on pedestrian crossings.
Meanwhile, e-scooter riders must dismount and push their electric scooters across the pedestrian crossing, or face a 20 euro fine for impeding pedestrians or causing drivers to brake. The same applies to cyclists who peddle across the crosswalk without dismounting, as they do not have priority and must let vehicles pass. Cyclists and e-scooter riders must also be cautious and ready to brake when sharing the road with pedestrians, stopping to let them cross safely.
Bicycles and rollerbladers are not allowed to pass on the pedestrian crossing. At traffic signals, cyclists must wait their turn. Of course, pedestrians must also be vigilant, ensuring they enter the road attentively and with a clear direction, as the Automobile Club Europe emphasizes.
