AMDifficulty 1/5

A moped joins a public road from a private access while a bicycle is already travelling along it. There is no officer’s instruction changing priority. Who has right of way?

Correct answer

The bicycle already travelling on the road.

The bicycle already travelling on the road. Article 72 requires the vehicle joining from the access to check that joining is safe and give way. Signalling grants no priority. Others must facilitate joining as far as possible, but that does not remove this duty. The stated priority comes from joining, not from a universal bicycle priority at every narrowing.
