A car is about to cross a properly signed cycle lane used by cyclists whose paths would conflict with its own. With no directions or signals regulating passage differently, must it give way to them?

Correct answer

Yes, to the cyclists travelling on the cycle lane.

Yes. Article 64 gives cyclists using a properly signed cycle lane priority over other vehicles. The car must give way rather than force cyclists to brake to test whether they can stop. This does not give every cyclist priority in every situation; obey applicable directions and signals.
