Highway code road marking question

6 comments

1. No, the triangles on their own mean nothing there has to be a sign accompanying them.

   Nevertheless the cyclist does not have priority since he’s crossing a road.

2. They don’t have right of way. There is only one marking where they have the right of way on a cross-roads, and a lot where they don’t, even if a pedestrian does in the same situation.

3. The triangles dont really mean anything in this scenario. They are placed to remind cyclists they don’t have priority there. (Which they wouldn’t have with or without those triangles)

4. The meaning of the painted white triangles is the same for all traffic. However. They may not be 100% valid in this case. I think they should always be accompanied with a B1 sign (inverted red-white triangle). And IIRC it’s the B1 sign that handles the right of way. The painted white triangles on the ground are only an indication of where to stop when you have to yield (again, not really sure of this). So in my opinion: please do give right of way to all traffic on the main road, because everyone expects you to. But I’m not 100% if this situation is valid.

5. Cyclists DO NOT have the right of way at a crossing, unless it’s a continued cycling path or they have green light.

   So the white triangles are there as a reminder that you don’t have the right of way.

6. AFAIK cyclists only have right of way on a dedicated track (red of green colored). Here, you have to yield.
