FAQ
There have been proposals to introduce arrangements to allow cyclists to ride in both directions down one way streets. However, at present, cyclists can only ride the wrong way down one-way streets if there are signs stating it is permitted.
"Cyclists should give way to pedestrians on shared use cycle tracks. Only pedestrians may use the pavement."Do not turn at a junction if to do so would cause the cyclist going straight ahead to stop or swerve, just as you would do with a motor vehicle.
Do pedestrians have right of way? As Judge Mauger explained in her summing up, even where a motorist or cyclist has right of war on the road 'pedestrians who are established on the road have right of way'. Rule 170 of the Highway Code states that if a pedestrian has 'started to cross' a road, they have right of way.
Rule 79 of the Highway Code states that cyclists 'do not ride across a pelican, puffin or zebra crossing' and must 'dismount and wheel the cycle across'. However, according to Transport for London, it is not illegal to cycle across a zebra crossing if there is shared-use to either side.
Pedestrians must always be yielded the right of way at intersections and crosswalks. Bicycles, since they are considered 'vehicles,' are subject to the same rules as other drivers; they are not always granted the right of way. When turning left at an intersection, you must yield to oncoming traffic.
California's Department of Motor Vehicles maintains that "Bicycle riders on public roads have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists, and are subject to the same rules and regulations." This means that the "pedestrians always have the right-of-way" rule does not apply to bicyclists.

Bicycle riders in NSW must obey the road rules. They must stop at red lights or stop signs, give way as indicated by road signs and give hand signals when changing direction. Under the Road Rules on the NSW legislation website, a bicycle is considered a vehicle and has the same road rules as other vehicles.
The California Vehicle Code views bicycles not as vehicles, but devices, and cyclists as drivers.Well, it means that you give up your rights as a pedestrian when you ride a bike in the crosswalk. When you pedal your bike across a crosswalk you do not have the right-of-way.
