Who has right of way at this junction at Guild St – a car turning left or a cyclist going straight on?

  1. The car has right of way. There is a yield sign on the ground for the cyclist. The cyclist also has a red light, whereas the car has a green.

  2. I reckon cycle lane on the path has a red light and a yield to pedestrians.

    The cycle lane on the road though I don’t think that red light applies to that lane or any yield and is bound by the traffic light, they would have right of way to go straight before a car can turn left. Always check your mirrors!

  3. I doubt even Dublin City Council know the answer.

    Do they look at how it’s done in The Netherlands and Denmark and think ah that works, how boring. Lets make it interesting!(lethal)

  4. Cyclist going straight. The cyclist has the advanced stop line, which means they have right of way to move away from stopped before anyone behind. But in general anyone NOT crossing into or out of lane has right of way.

    But I’m also not sure what you mean – do you mean the cyclist shown travelling towards the camera? Or as if a cyclist were travelling in the same direction as the taxi?

    You’re not clear.

  5. If cyclist going straight is on the road then the cyclist has right of way. (Just imagine the other cycle lane on the path didn’t exist).

    If cyclist going straight is on the purpose built cycle lane. Then there is clearly a red light for the bikes, so the car has right of way.
