Questions Learners Have About Cyclists & Contraflow (France)

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Cyclists & Contraflow (France), including how questions match the official theory exam in France, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is a 'double-sens cyclable' street in France?

A 'double-sens cyclable' street is a one-way street for motor vehicles where cyclists are permitted to travel in both directions. This specific arrangement requires drivers to be extra vigilant and aware of cyclists approaching from the opposite direction.

What are the rules for passing cyclists in France?

When passing a cyclist in France, you must leave a minimum lateral safety distance of 1 meter in urban areas (agglomération) and 1.5 meters outside urban areas. You should only overtake when it is safe to do so, ensuring not to endanger the cyclist.

How does 'priorité à droite' apply when cyclists are present?

The 'priorité à droite' rule generally applies at intersections without specific signs, meaning the vehicle (or cyclist) coming from the right has priority. However, drivers must always be particularly cautious and ready to yield to vulnerable users, even if they technically have priority, to ensure safety.

What are 'dooring' risks and how can I prevent them?

Dooring refers to a collision between a cyclist and an opening car door. To prevent this, always check your mirrors and blind spots carefully before opening your door, especially on the side where cyclists might be present, such as along a 'piste cyclable' or in urban traffic.

Are cyclists allowed on 'autoroutes' in France?

No, cyclists are generally forbidden on 'autoroutes' (motorways) and 'voies rapides' (expressways) in France. These roads are designed for faster moving motor vehicles, and cyclists must use alternative routes.
