At a roundabout in Workum, sign B6 and shark's-teeth markings are present at every entry. You want to enter the roundabout; a cyclist is already on it and is approaching your entry from the left. Who goes first?
- Neither of us — both brake and sort it out on the spot
- I do, because cyclists must wait for cars on a roundabout
- ✓ The cyclist on the roundabout, regardless of which side they come from
- I do, because whoever comes from the right has priority here
Correct answer: The cyclist on the roundabout, regardless of which side they come from
Explanation
False — Sign B6 and shark's-teeth already settle this unambiguously: the cyclist on the roundabout goes first
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong. Sign B6 and shark's-teeth already settle this unambiguously: the cyclist on the roundabout goes first
- Wrong. There is no separate rule for cyclists here — with sign B6: whoever is on the roundabout goes first, cyclist or car
- With sign B6 + shark's-teeth the roundabout wins, not the rechts-regel
