On interurban roads, what safety equipment are cyclists and their passengers required to use?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that to ride on interurban roads (roads outside built-up areas), both the cyclist and passengers must wear an approved or certified protective helmet. There are certain exceptions to this rule (such as during prolonged ascents, extreme heat, or for certified medical reasons), but the general rule is mandatory usage. Analysis of incorrect options: Seatbelts: Bicycles are not equipped with this restraint system. Reflective vest instead of helmet: The vest is mandatory for visibility under certain conditions (at night or in low light), but it never replaces the helmet, as they fulfill completely different safety functions (visibility vs. head protection).
