Correct answer

  • CSí, si pasa algún ciclista porque tiene prioridad en este cruceYes, if a cyclist is crossing, because cyclists have priority at this crossing
Explanation

Under Article 64.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (as worded by RD 518/2026), cyclists have priority over other vehicles when they are riding on a properly marked cyclist crossing. You do not always have to stop, but you must give way to cyclists who are crossing.
