On a road with a designated and marked bike lane, how must a car driver act regarding the presence of cyclists?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

General Traffic Regulations state that cyclists have the right of way over motor vehicles when riding on a designated bike lane, cycle crossing, or marked shoulder. Therefore, the correct action is to always give them priority. The general rule of yielding to the right does not apply here, as the bike lane is specific infrastructure that grants preference to its users. Stating that they never have priority is incorrect and dangerous, as they are vulnerable users with protected rights.
