In Portuguese traffic law, who has priority at an intersection between a passenger car and a bicycle on an ordinary public road without signs?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. The bicycle has priority if it is approaching from the right
- Step 1: Equal application of right-hand rule. Step 2. Since the 2014 legal reforms, non-motorized velocipedes (bicycles) entering from the right have full priority over motor vehicles at uncontrolled intersections. Answer: The bicycle has priority if it is approaching from the right. Why not the others: Motorized status and number of wheels do not override the statutory right-hand priority rule.
