You intend to turn left at the nearest intersection in the presented situation. Do you have to yield priority to cyclists coming straight from the opposite direction?

In the video you are approaching a junction in a town; on the right there are signs A-7 "give way" and D-6 "pedestrian crossing" with plate T-27, and cyclists are coming from the opposite direction. As you intend to turn left, you must give way to cyclists coming from the opposite direction and going straight on. The answer is: yes.

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. A bicycle is a vehicle, so a cyclist coming from the opposite direction and going straight on has the same right of way over you as a car. Sign A-7 does not change the relationship between you - it concerns the intersecting road, which you are both entering from the same minor street. So when turning left, you give way first to vehicles on the priority road, then to the cyclists from the opposite direction, and also to pedestrians crossing the roadway you are entering. A cyclist is narrow and easy to miss behind an oncoming car, so before turning you look not only at the cars but also at the shoulder and the right edge of the roadway on the opposite side.
