Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: No. It is prohibited to drive on the sidewalk in order to pass an obstacle.
The sidewalk is meant for pedestrians, so you must not drive a vehicle on it to pass an obstacle. Driving carefully in first gear does not make it permitted, and there is no special permission for motorcycles. When there is an obstacle in the road, pass it on the roadway when it is safe, giving right of way to oncoming traffic, or wait until the way clears.
