If you go straight, are you obliged to give the right of way to the 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: Yes

In the situation shown, you pass the A-5 'intersection' sign, which warns of an uncontrolled intersection of equivalent roads. At such an intersection, the 'right-hand rule' applies, which means you are obliged to yield to all vehicles approaching from your right. The cyclist is approaching from the right, so according to Art. 25 of the Road Traffic Act, you must yield to them.
