Do you have the right of way over the cyclist in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are turning right into a side street, and a cyclist is riding across its entry on a cycle crossing marked with road marking P-11. You do not have right of way over him, because you are crossing the cycle crossing on which he is riding. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver approaching a cycle crossing to exercise particular caution and to give way to a cyclist who is on the crossing, and a driver turning into an intersecting road to give way to a cyclist going straight on along the road that the driver is leaving. A cyclist who is already on the cycle crossing has right of way - just like a pedestrian on a pedestrian crossing. Before turning, you look in the right mirror and over your right shoulder, because a cyclist approaches fast and often from your blind spot, and you turn only when the cycle crossing is clear.
