You intend to turn right at the nearest intersection in the situation presented. Do you have to yield the right of way to cyclists from the opposite direction turning left?

In the video you are approaching a junction in a town; on the right there is sign A-7 "give way", and beyond it D-6 "pedestrian crossing" with plate T-27; cyclists are coming from the opposite direction. As you intend to turn right, you do not have to give way to cyclists coming from the opposite direction and turning left - it is they who give way to you. The answer is: no.

The Road Traffic Act states that a driver turning left is obliged to give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction going straight on or turning right. You and the cyclists are approaching the junction on the same minor road, from opposite sides, each with your own sign A-7 - the sign sets your position in relation to the intersecting road, not in relation to each other; between you the general rules apply, according to which a road user turning left gives way to one turning right. A bicycle is a vehicle, so a cyclist turning left has exactly the same obligation towards you as a car driver. When turning right, however, you give way to vehicles travelling on the priority road and to pedestrians on the crossing, and if a cyclist nevertheless rides in front of your bonnet, you brake - right of way is not worth a collision.
