Are cyclists permitted to ride side by side or two abreast on the road?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, the General Traffic Regulations explicitly allow cyclists to ride two abreast (side by side), provided they keep as close as possible to the right edge of the road. This measure aims to increase the group's visibility and safety. However, there are mandatory exceptions where they must switch to single file: in sections with poor visibility (such as sharp curves or blind hills) and when they cause traffic congestion that hinders the normal flow of other vehicles. Remember that on motorways, if riding is exceptionally permitted, it must always be on the hard shoulder and in single file.
