Is the cyclist in the image riding in an appropriate position given there is no cycle lane or shoulder?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The answer is yes. According to General Traffic Regulations, the priority for cyclist positioning (especially outside built-up areas) is: 1) Specific cycle lane, 2) Right shoulder if passable and sufficient. In this case, since neither exists, the rule states they must ride using the essential part of the roadway, positioning themselves as close as possible to the right edge. Riding in the center would be dangerous and obstruct traffic, while prohibiting their circulation would be incorrect unless there was a specific prohibition sign (like on motorways).
