Correct answer

  • BSí, si no hay señales que regulen la prioridad.Yes, if there are no signs regulating priority.
Explanation

If there is no sign regulating priority, you must give way to vehicles approaching from the right, including bicycles. If there are signs, the signs apply: if the cyclist has a STOP sign (R-2), as in the picture, it is the cyclist who must give way.
