In Norwegian traffic rules (Vegtrafikkloven), how does the general right-hand priority rule (høyreregelen) apply between motor vehicles and cyclists riding on the roadway?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Cyclists riding on the roadway are road users and have the exact same right-of-way from the right as motor vehicles
- Step 1: Under § 2 and § 7 of Trafikkreglene, a bicycle on the roadway is classified as a vehicle (kjørende); drivers must yield to cyclists approaching from the right. Answer: Cyclists riding on the roadway are road users and have the exact same right-of-way from the right as motor vehicles. Why not the others: the alternative options do not conform to statutory traffic regulations under the Norwegian Road Traffic Act (Vegtrafikkloven and Trafikkreglene).
