1 Within an area with road signs or other signposts indicating permission to do so
2 If the rider is under 13 years old
[B]3 In unavoidable circumstances due to roadway or traffic conditions[/B
The last one is sufficiently vague that riding one's bicycle on the sidewalk is
de facto tolerated. I wish this would change, but sadly unless a bicycle hits a group of schoolchildren and someone dies as a result I doubt anything will happen.
