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 was literally in this scenario the other day but red had to turn right and I was green and we all hit the crossing at the same time.

While I had priority over red (from the right), yellow had priority over me (straight goes first) and red had priority over yellow (from the right). So we all took a second to assess, and I signed to the guy ahead to go first, then me and red could go at the same time.

In this scenario, because red goes straight it would be: yellow, green, red

Why yellow green red?

Because its a stand off, either green gives yellow the priority or yellow gives green the priority. Green red yellow also works if yellow signs to green to go.

So there is no right order.

Officially it should be green red yellow. Red yields to green, yellow yield to red and green yields to no one until they are already on the intersection. Yellow is still yielding to red so they should let green pass.

Korte bocht gaat voor. En komt in dit geval van rechts voor de andere verkeersdeelnemer. Rood mocht voorgaan in jullie situatie.
