Will bicycles approaching from the left have priority?
A)Yes, when they are travelling in a group.
B)No.Correct
Bicycles, like other vehicles, are governed by the general rule of right of way. In this case, since it is not specified that the intersection is signposted, the priority will be for the right, so if the bicycle is approaching from our left, it will have to give us priority.
However, if when travelling in a group one of them has already crossed the intersection, then the rest of the group would have right of way because they are considered as a single unit.
Bicycle riders have right of way over motor vehicles:
- When travelling on a bike lane, cyclist crossing or duly signposted hard shoulder.
- When, in order to enter another road, the motor vehicle turns right or left, in the cases permitted, and there is a cyclist nearby.
- When travelling in a group, the first one has already started the crossing or has entered a roundabout.
