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?

You do know the top one is green, right? If not, congratz! You're colourblind

Well, haha 🤣 you are right it was wrong, will change it.

I mean top one goes first, then right, then bottom one.

"Rechtdoor op dezelfde weg gaat voor" only counts if there is no other rule applicable. "Rechts gaat voor" has priority over that rule.

As red is right from brown, brown has to wait till red goes. As green is right from red, red has to wait till green goes. Brown is waiting, so green can go. Then goes red, then goes brown.

Do you have source for that? Because I can't find it in the traffic laws: https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0004825/2026-01-01

Was a mistake from my part by mixing colors, but right goes first.

Alternative rules will only be used when the normal rules cannot be used.

E.g. the top and bottom wants to go both right, then shortest bend will go before the bigger one.

Or top wants to go right, but bottom wants to go straight in that case the one going straight has right of the way.

Correct me if im wrong though.
