Overlapping
Crossings
Crowded bike paths and shared spaces often result in confusion when one cyclist speeds through while another slows down or signals a turn.
Sidewalk
Confusion
Unfamiliarity with the terrain or unclear boundaries on sidewalks can lead to mistakes, especially for less experienced cyclists.
