Is a person pushing a baby stroller along the road considered a pedestrian?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, the General Traffic Regulations are clear on this matter. Pedestrians are considered persons traveling on foot on public roads or terrain suitable for traffic. This definition explicitly includes those pushing or dragging a baby stroller or a wheelchair for disabled persons, as well as any other small non-motorized vehicle. It is a mistake to think they are only pedestrians if they are on the sidewalk; their status as a pedestrian is inherent to the activity they are performing, regardless of whether they are traveling on the sidewalk, the shoulder, or the roadway (when necessary). They are not considered drivers because they are not operating a motor vehicle or a cycle while riding it.
