Zorluk: ZorCyclists

You are waiting at a red traffic light behind an Advanced Stop Line (ASL). A cyclist is positioned inside the cycle reservoir ahead of you, signalling an intention to turn right. When the traffic signal changes to green and you intend to drive straight ahead, what action should you take?

  1. A
    Accelerate promptly to pass the cyclist on the left before they start their turn.
  2. B
    Sound your horn to alert the cyclist that straight-ahead traffic has priority to move first.
  3. Wait behind the cyclist and allow them to move off and complete their right turn safely.Cevap
  4. D
    Move off immediately alongside the cyclist while looking only ahead at your exit lane.

Cevap

Wait behind the cyclist and allow them to move off and complete their right turn safely.
Under the Highway Code, when traffic lights turn green, drivers must allow cyclists positioned in the Advanced Stop Line reservoir sufficient time and space to move off and complete their manoeuvres. Even if you are travelling straight ahead, you must remain behind a right-turning cyclist until they have safely cleared your path.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the road layout and the position of other road users at the junction.
Recognise that the cyclist is legitimately positioned in the Advanced Stop Line reservoir ahead of motor traffic.
Advanced Stop Lines are designed specifically to allow cyclists to position themselves ahead of traffic and be clearly visible.
2
Observe the cyclist's directional signal and anticipate their intended path across the junction.
Understand that the cyclist will cross your path to complete their right turn as the lights change to green.
Anticipating the cyclist's line of travel prevents cutting across them or forcing them into oncoming traffic.
3
Hold back behind the cyclist until they have safely navigated and cleared the junction.
Ensure a safe passage for the vulnerable road user before progressing straight ahead.
Under Highway Code rules, drivers must give cyclists adequate time and space to move off from advanced stop boxes.
