If you go straight ahead at this intersection, do you have the right of way over a cyclist?

Description

Art. 25 para. 1 of the Act of June 20, 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) in conjunction with § 5 para. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and Internal Affairs and Administration of July 31, 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended).

Explanation

Correct answer: No

The A-5 'intersection' warning sign visible on the right informs you that you are approaching an uncontrolled intersection of equivalent roads. In this situation, the general priority rule applies, which means you must yield to a vehicle approaching from the right. Since the cyclist is approaching from your right, according to Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, you do not have priority over them.
