In the presented situation, do you yield priority to the cyclist?

In the photo, you are approaching a junction in a city; in front of you, the roadway is crossed by a cycle crossing marked with P-11 squares, and a cyclist in dark clothes is just riding across it from the left. You give way to him. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act requires a driver approaching a cycle crossing to exercise particular caution and give way to a rider of a bicycle, electric scooter or personal transport device (UTO) who is on the crossing. The cyclist is already on the crossing, so the case is clear: you slow down and, if necessary, stop before the crossing until he has left it. Giving way means that you must not force him to change direction or to change speed significantly - braking at the last moment, which makes the cyclist stop, is not giving way. The Regulation on road signs and signals states that marking P-11 marks the place where cyclists cross, usually next to a pedestrian crossing. You approach the crossing at a speed at which you can stop without sudden braking, and you look both ways along the cycle path, because a cyclist travels several times faster than a pedestrian and appears suddenly.
