Children on the road - rules for pedestrians and cyclists

This article is a response to a post by an anonymous user regarding the article about road signs for pedestrians and cyclists.Children on foot.In order to walk on sidewalks or (in the absence of a sidewalk) on the street, a child up to the age of 7 must be supervised by a person who is at least 10 years old. A child over 7 years of age can move independently on the sidewalk or on the street.It is worth remembering that (in the absence of a sidewalk) pedestrians are obliged to use the LEFT side of the road.Children on bikes.The regulations also govern the movement of children on bicycles on public roads.A cyclist under the age of 7 cannot independently use public roads – this applies to both roadways, bike paths, and sidewalks. They can ride on the public road either in a child seat and a helmet, or in a bike trailer.A cyclist up to the age of 10 can only move on a public road in the company of an adult (both on foot and on a bicycle).On roads, along which there is a sidewalk, a child under the age of 10 on a bike cannot use the roadway or the bike path (as they are pedestrians). Furthermore, an adult cyclist taking care of a child on their own bike can ride with them on the sidewalk (yielding to pedestrians).On roads without a sidewalk, the guardian (on a bike or on foot) and the ward (on a bike and under the age of 10) must TRAVEL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, as they are considered pedestrians at that time.Adolescents over the age of 10, but under 18, can move independently on the road, provided they have a bike license or driver's license.
