In my part of Italy - I don't know whether this is correct for the entire country - it is *normal *on cycleways that run parallel to roads that at every point where there is a lateral road, there is a *pedestrian* crossing across the lateral road where the cyclists are requested by law to dismount. Obviously we are in Italy, and no cyclist does dismount. But I am now locally inserting bicycle=dismount on all pedestrian crossings of this type. We also have crossings where cyclists can cross on their bikes, but their number is much smaller.
