	Rules of the road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The basic traffic rules are defined by an international treaty under the authority of the United Nations, the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic.
		Turning from the middle of the road to the left in right hand side driving can be signalled with the left hand but this is outweighed by most riders mounting the bike in the traffic and with their back to the traffic.
		In Italy the practice of traffic driving on the right first began in the late 1890s, but it was not until the mid 1920s that it became standard throughout the country.

	Bicycle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Vienna Convention on Road Traffic considers a bicycle a vehicle and a person controlling a bicycle a driver.
		The traffic codes of many countries reflect these definitions and demand that a bicycle satisfy certain legal requirements, including licencing, before it can be used on public roads.
		Both their model for political organization and the paved roads for which they argued facilitated the growth of the bicycle's rival, the automobile.

		A survey, made by an international working group of the International Road Federation in 1990 for the EU Commission along more than eight thousand kilometres of European Motorways in 11 Member States, established that many vital signs at important “decision points” are simply not visible in time.
		The first international Agreement dates back to 1909 (the first international Convention leading to today’s UN “Vienna” Conventions and Agreements in force all over the world) In these Conventions and Agreements, the colours prescribed for road signing take into consideration the basic scientific notions of contrast.
		In fact, the UN Conventions prescribes the dipped beam as the minimum requirement when a vehicle is in movement at night – even on lit streets – and in bad weather conditions.

		Under the terms of the Vienna convention on Road Traffic, a bicycle is considered to be a vehicle and a person controlling a bicycle is considered to be a driver.
		Road bicycles have close set multi-step gearing, which allows very fine control of cadence, while three-speed or utility cycles offer a lesser number of more widely spaced "speeds".
		This has resulted in land-use patterns and road designs that focus on facilitating motoring, frequently at the direct expense of the safety and convenience of other road users such as cyclists.

		In its official paper circulated to the meeting of the United Nations' Working Group on Road Safety held last week (3-5th April) in Geneva, the German government clearly stated its objection to external intervention in the speed of vehicles.
		They consider that the principles of ISA are in contradiction with those of the Road Traffic Regulations contained in the 1968 Vienna Convention, which clearly stipulates as one of its fundamental principles, that the control of the vehicle can not be taken from its driver.
		Speed limiters are regulated to a specific final speed value but still give the possibility to the driver to adapt his way of driving, while the ISA system reduces the speed in accordance with local speed limits by allowing external control of the vehicle.
