Riding on zebra crossings is generally not allowed and is considered unsafe and illegal in most places. Zebra crossings are specifically designated for pedestrians to cross the street safely. Riders, whether on bicycles, scooters, or motorcycles, are typically not allowed to ride or stop on zebra crossings, as it could obstruct pedestrians and pose a safety risk.
Here's a general breakdown of what the rules often say:
Pedestrians First: Zebra crossings are meant to prioritize pedestrian safety. Vehicles, including motorcycles and bicycles, must yield to pedestrians on zebra crossings.
Bicycles and Scooters: In many places, cyclists and scooter riders are expected to dismount and walk across the zebra crossing rather than riding across it. Riding over the crossing could result in fines or penalties.
Motor Vehicles: For motor vehicles, stopping on or blocking a zebra crossing is illegal and can result in fines, as it can prevent pedestrians from crossing safely.
It's always a good idea to check local traffic laws, as they can vary slightly depending on the country or region. However, the general rule is that zebra crossings are for pedestrians, and other vehicles (including riders) should give way.
