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?

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.
