Zimbabwe road rules covering vulnerable road users — 4 rules. Ready to test yourself? Try Vulnerable Road Users practice questions.
On the road, users at the highest risk are pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. It is also important to be aware of children, older and disabled people, and learner and inexperienced drivers.
Motorcyclists and cyclists are not readily noticed especially when they are coming up from behind, coming out of junctions, at roundabouts, overtaking you or filtering through traffic. Most drivers do not recognize them as road users. Always look out for them before you emerge from a junction; they could be approaching faster than you think. When turning right across a line of slow-moving or stationary traffic, look out for cyclists or motorcyclists on the inside of the traffic you are crossing. Be especially careful when turning, and when changing direction or lane. Be sure to check mirrors and blind spots carefully.
