In this situation, do you have priority over the cyclist coming from the left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are approaching a junction in a town; on the right there is a yellow diamond with a black stripe - sign D-2 "end of priority road" - and below it A-7 "give way"; a cyclist is approaching from the left along the intersecting road. You do not have right of way over the cyclist approaching from the left. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-2 marks the end of a priority road, and sign A-7 warns of a junction with a priority road. Until now you were driving on the main road, but it ends here: at the nearest junction, the intersecting road has priority, and you are obliged to give way to all vehicles travelling on it - from the left and from the right. A bicycle is a vehicle, so a cyclist on a priority road has the same right of way over you as a car; giving way means that you must not force him to change direction or to change speed significantly - so you slow down before the junction, stop if necessary and only enter when the cyclist has passed. The combination of D-2 with A-7 is a typical trap for a driver who is used to having right of way.
Legal basis: § 43 para. 3 and § 5 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 2 point 23 and 47 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
