Who has Priority here? Almost Fatal Accident

That sign is for motorists, advising them that they should keep out to avoid vehicles that are waiting to turn out of the junction.

As said earlier the signage is dreadful, the cycle lane is actually the inside lane, note the bubbled slabs indicating the junction for pedestrians.

With my cyclist hat on yes the cyclist should have yielded approaching the junction as there's no signage indicating it continues on, which is why i'd be on the road in the first place as others have advised.

As a driver however any day of the week i'm approaching the junction knowing i'm going to turn i'm going to make myself aware of any traffic, cyclist, jogger, pedestrian whatever approaching at the same time i'm going to wait until i know we're both aware of each other's intentions.

If i barrel through cos i have 'right of way' i'm just an inconsiderate bullying w@nker and if i don't know they're there in the first place i shouldn't be on the road.

What cycle track?

Then the sign would be in the middle of the path, which it's not, and regardless as i've said that's the footpath and not the cycle lane.

Agree on the stop sign line, if it was further back allowing for a demarcated cycle lane cars exiting wouldn't be able to see the traffic, so they've just ignored the natural line of the cycle lane which is typical, which is why i don't use them.

It's called consideration.

Cycle much?

And people who would argue that overtaking anything on their left just prior to turning left and not ascertaining their whereabouts or intentions prior to making the turn is not a dick move

Is this some kind of Schrödingers cyclist thing, where the cyclist ceases to exist when using the cycle lane?

You forget to mention about the driver checking where the cyclist that they passed one second earlier had gone.

Surely we don’t need to go back to Viking cartography to establish that?

If the cycle lane ‘continued’ through the junction one would suggest there would be hatched lines delineating that situation.

Bearing that in mind and the position of the stop lines at the exit ,one would assume a sensible cyclist would check the clearance before crossing .

Would it be too much to expect a sensible person to assess the signage or indeed, lack of it before taking part in a risky manouvre .

Bringing other scenarios in to this is a different kettle of fish and in my opinion not really relevant.

Of course there needs to be better signage at this junction but given the situation it behoves the cyclist or other pathway user to ensure clearance before crossing.

Sometimes we need to think for ourselves as adults rather than trying to deflect to others.

No problem, my point is that sometimes we have to make decisions as adults and not expect everything to be perfect.

I already eXplained why the cycle lane is interrupted at the crossing, check the positioning of the stop lines at the other side.

Sometimes folk try to make a big deal of things and throw out chaff to try to disguise their mistake.

Lets act like adults and hold our hands up as it appears this cyclist should do.

Its very simple be careful crossing a road.

Would a pedestrian be in their rights to cross the road there and expect a car to stop?

I think this argument will just go round and round.

One thing I hope everyone can agree on is that it is a terribly designed junction and the local authority or nra or whoever designed and laid it out with its current markings is massively at fault. Junctions with clear indications of who has right of way are essential. No matter what side of the argument you are on you are an idiot if you think this is clear one way or the other, as demonstrated by the debate here.

What I find funny aswell is people saying you shouldn't have passed your test if you don't understand the cyclist has right of way as the lane extends. I sat my test 13ish years ago, don't think there was any cycle lanes on my route, majority of drivers out there are probably similar. I'm not saying that is an excuse for not knowing the rules around them. But if the authorities are going to implement more cycle lanes which they should, they need to very clear to all who has right of way, not like that shambles of a junction.

It's very simple. If you're driving a tonne or two of metal around vulnerable road users, don't forget the vulnerable road users that you passed just one second ago when you're changing direction.

I'd bet the driver never saw the cyclist through their obscured side windows. It's just common sense to make sure your windows are clear before starting your journey.

Consideration for the amount of energy it takes to restart from stopped is totally irrelevant to the situation at hand.

As an experience cyclist I would slow down to allow the indicating car to turn and thus avoid the need to stop and restart.

Maybe the prudent thing to do, as any road user, when you are describing yourself as "a potential hazard" is to remove yourself from that situation rather than rely on others to avoid you?
