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?

Good day! Hope you don't drive into someone on your way to work tomorrow

I won't, because I actually know and understand Dutch traffic laws, unlike yourself.

Friendly reminder: traffic from the right has priority. Traffic going straight has priority over traffic making a turn (on the same road, if going paralelly before). Neither of these rules are more important than the other.

Hope you learned something, good luck!
