Road level cycle lanes with divider - Who has right of way?

Is there any 'Yield' signage for cycle track users?

From my experience of segregated tracks. I'd be inclined to think that the motorist has right of way.

If the cyclist is already ahead of the car , the car turning left shouldn't be an issue.

If the car is Infront and indicating their intention to turn left it would be prudent for the cyclist to reduce speed and let car complete the manouvre.

If both are reaching junction at same time I would see they cyclist as having right of way as they are continuing with the road and the car is changing direction.

That's how I would see it if there's no other signs indicating otherwise.

However there's no point in putting yourself in danger because you think that you're "in the right".

It's why I avoid segregated cycle lanes. I just take the lane. And if drivers moan I point out the exact uncertainty being discussed here.

Segregated cycle lanes have their merits and a place in road infrastructure, but championing them above all else just allows angry drivers to demand that after all the money spent on them you should be forced to use them.

That's great progress actually, rather than the cycle lane ceding priority that the cyclist would have on the road.

That's doesn't say the cyclist has right of way. It say they have right of way when there is a advanced stop line - which indicates their right of way.

This question is pointless without seeing the junction. As there are signs and/or road markings they can clearly indicate right of way to one or the other. Amazing the amount of people that don;t understand road marking and signs though

This is the junction I believe, the cyclist has right of way.

Further down it says " Do not overtake a cyclist as you approach a junction if you are turning left"

Couldn't be much clearer.

i believe, could be wrong, that the junction they are referring to is further down at the lights, thats just an entrance into the smurfit business school.

The marking are a bit of a mess to be honest. In just a few hunderd meters there are a) black wands, b) orange wands and c) yield signs + orange wands at the bus stop.

What does the colour change mean? Are cyclists expected to yield at the orange wand but not the black? Just ahead, yeild + orange are linked together at the bus stop. If they mean exactly the same thing, why the colour change?

Now I know that even asking that will elicit the response "If you need to ask that you shouldn't be driving".

I know they (black/orange) mean the same thing though, I'm just asking why an additional layer of confusion has been layered on top of something which may people are uncertain (as evidenced by this thread) how to approach?

Wouldn't you have the same issue with a car turning left?

Crossing a broken line means you are changing lanes. So the car or bike in the lane going straight has priority

Black are ornate , others are hi-vis…

As a pedestrian, I was half way across a side road a few years back, when a driver on the main road decided he was turning anyway and leant on the horn when I didn’t stop half way across to give way to him. We had a bit of an exchange of words afterwards. Apparently “you give way to traffic.” When I wasn’t backing down, he tried to win the argument by flashing his hidden blue lights at me. I still didn’t back down, so he told me he’d see me on a coroner’s desk some day.

Charming man, and if Ireland’s finest haven’t a clue about this basic principle of road traffic law, there’s little hope most other motorists will.

!00% the bicycle imo. The bike lane is a completely separate lane and the car would be crossing it so the car has to wait until it's clear.

ok, id consider that an entrance more than a junction!

I cannot stand seeing cyclists not using segregated cycle lanes. Constantly seeing it on my cycle commute. I'll be in the segregated lane on the quays in Dublin flying along and you still see cyclists in the left lane causing traffic to have to slow down, busses having difficulties pulling out etc.

I know 'its your right' to do so, but it's also breaking the 'don't be a dick' rule we should all try to live by to make commuting a more bearable experience. Only adds to the animosity a lot of commuters have for cyclists already.

The guy who was on the footpath on the quays last week took the biscuit (at sir John rogersons quay near sprout )

The ones I'm talking about anyway are a bit more well defined than that.

Here's the type of thing I see on a daily basis. I cycle along the segregated track on the right along the quays in this photo. It's great and it's bollarded off so cars cant cut into it.

There are always guys still cycling the same route over in the bus lane where the red arrow is.

That's a massive generalisation and doesn't seem to display any awareness of why someone would opt not to use a segregated cycle lane.

If I'm leaving the road at some point in the near distance, either turning left or right, I'm not going to stay in a segregated cycle lane where I'm prevented from doing so without stopping and waiting for pedestrian lights etc., where if I was in the traffic lane I would have no issues.

If the segregated cycle lane is full of pedestrians, constantly blocked by busses, taxis, delivery vans and parents dropping kids to school, I'm not risking a dooring or collision.

If the segregated bicycle lane contains continuous property entrances, with ramps up and down, I'm not going to use it.

If the segregated bicycle lane funnels me away from the main flow of traffic (which is in the direction I want to travel) just so they can force cyclists to yield at junctions and cross with pedestrians, I'm not going to use it.

If the segregated cycle lane is full of road debris and overhanging brambles, bushes and branches, I'm not going to use it.

If the segregated cycle lane forces me to loop around busy bus shelters/ stops where pedestrians hang around and spill onto the cycle lane, I'm not going to use it.

If you want to classify me as a d!ck for not inconveniencing myself or putting myself in harm's way, that's fine. In the photo you've attached above, if I was in the bus/ cycle lane I'd probably be travelling at the same speed or faster than the traffic 90% of the time.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't really call that a segregated cycle lane anyway, more of a protected cycle lane. The lane's I'm talking about tend to be raised higher than the road and often side-by-side with pavements (meaning that whatever about legislation, the road infrastructure design now treats you as a pedestrian most of the time).

I think I know what you mean, the raised cycle lanes which are pretty much an addition to the foothpath. They can be pretty horrific alright. I still use them though as I'd rather be up there away from the traffic than have traffic speeding close by on the likes of the N11.

And yes, the bus lane is indeed a combined bus / cycle lane. So cyclists have every right to be there alright. I just think as I said, it's a bit of a dick move if you stay in it the whole way along the quays and don't use the actual cycle track provided to you on the right side behind the barriers.
