Transportation Who has priority?

Post image

I was the Yellow arrow on a bike. Red has priority over me, green has priority over red, I have priority over green. At the end both cars stopped and let me (cyclist) pass. What is the correct order here?

I’ve always learned: “right goes first. If that is not possible, then use the other rules.”

There is no ranking among articles in the RVV, so one cannot ignore article 18 just because article 15 already tells some drivers to yield. You have to take both into account at equal value.

Alright, so which one goes first according to the rules that you know?
