Show the correct answer

Correct answer

YES

Explanation

In the video you are approaching a junction with traffic lights in a city and intend to turn right; the traffic lights show green, and on the right, by the cycle crossing over the road you intend to turn into, a cyclist is riding. When turning right, you will give way to him. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act requires a driver turning into an intersecting road to exercise particular caution and give way to a cyclist going straight on along the roadway, a cycle lane, a shared footway and cycle path, a cycle path or another part of the road that the driver intends to leave; when approaching a cycle crossing, the driver must also give way to a cyclist on the crossing. The cyclist has green just like you, and your right turn crosses his path - whether he is riding alongside you or is already on the crossing; this is one of the most common causes of accidents involving cyclists in cities. Before turning you switch on the indicator, look in the right mirror and over your right shoulder, and let the cyclist through before you drive onto the cycle crossing.

Legal basis: Art. 27 para. 1a and para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
