Artificial intelligent assistant

How should I alight from the pavement? Whenever I'm exploring a new bike route or climbing a steep hill, I often need to get of the road and onto the pavement to avoid motorists, pushing my bike on the pavement until I feel it is appropriate to join the road again. I look left and right for passing cars, but I feel that I might be doing something wrong. Is there a signal I should use when I wish to join the road and is there anything else I must take into consideration regarding how and where I alight?

The UK Highway Code say's:

> Look all around before moving away from the kerb, turning or manoeuvring, to make sure it is safe to do so. Give a clear signal to show other road users what you intend to do.
