If you go straight ahead at this intersection, do you have the right of way over a cyclist?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along an estate street towards a junction marked with sign A-5 "crossroads", and you intend to go straight on, while a cyclist is approaching from the right along the side street. When going straight on, you do not have right of way over the cyclist. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver approaching a junction to give way to a vehicle approaching from the right, and a bicycle is a vehicle just like a car; the Regulation on road signs and signals specifies that A-5 warns of a junction where right of way is not set by signs. The size of the vehicle does not matter - a cyclist from the right has the same right of way as a lorry. You slow down before the junction, let the cyclist go first and move off when they have passed.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 2 point 31 and 47 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 5 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
