maybe it means when you're riding on a pedestrian path that crosses a street used by cars, you're supposed to dismount and walk across. I think I remember being told as a kid that's what you're supposed to do, although it was never explained to me why that was supposed to be safer. I guess so that you slow down, so drivers are more likely to notice you're there, instead of running you over and then saying "they came out of nowhere!"
