Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a wide street in a city with tram tracks on the left; on the right side of the roadway there is a red cycle lane with marking P-23, which ends ahead of you, and further on a lane marked with the word BUS begins. So you can see a cycle lane that is ending. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that marking P-23 "bicycle" marks a cycle path, a cycle lane or an advanced stop line for cyclists (bike box), and the Road Traffic Act defines a cycle lane as a part of the roadway intended for bicycle traffic in one direction, marked with the appropriate road signs. The end of a cycle lane is the moment when the cyclist must move into an ordinary traffic lane - for you this means that a bicycle which has so far been riding beside you will soon be in front of you. The Act requires a driver changing lanes to give way to a vehicle travelling in the lane they intend to enter, so formally it is the cyclist who must give way to you; but you have more to lose, so you watch them, slow down and leave them room to merge, and then you overtake them with a gap of at least one metre.
Legal basis: § 91 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 2 point 5a, Art. 22 para. 4 and Art. 24 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
