Rules for cyclists•Rule 76
Cyclists' Priority at Junctions
Going straight ahead. If you are going straight ahead at a junction, you have priority over traffic waiting to turn into or out of the side road, unless road signs or markings indicate otherwise (see Rule H3). Check that you can proceed safely, particularly when approaching junctions on the left alongside stationary or slow-moving traffic. Watch out for drivers intending to turn across your path. Remember the driver ahead may not be able to see you, so bear in mind your speed and position in the road.
💡Example
When cycling straight through a junction, you generally have priority over vehicles waiting to turn, unless signs say otherwise. For example, if you're cycling straight on a main road and a car is waiting to turn into a side street, you have the right of way, but always check it's safe before proceeding.
