The government builds special paths only for two-wheeled vehicles to keep them away from large trucks and buses. Cyclists must follow their own traffic lights, which are often smaller than those for cars. At night, it is a rule to have bright lights on the front and back of the bike so others can see you. Although wearing a helmet is not required by law for adults, it is encouraged for young children to stay safe. Also, when turning, riders should use their hands to show which way they are going.
