Correct answer
- ASí, siempreYes, always
Yes, always. According to the General Traffic Regulations, cyclists have right of way over motor vehicles when they are riding in a cycle lane, on a cycle crossing or on a properly signposted hard shoulder. When you cross a route reserved for other users (such as a cycle lane), you are entering their safety space, so right of way belongs entirely to them, whether they are approaching from the right or from the left.
