A ride from Market to Market, this time Boxtel to 's-Hertogenbosch (aka Den Bosch) in the Netherlands. More information in the blog post: bicycledutch.w...
At 24:05, shouldn't you have priority over the motorcycle and the Volkswagen because you were going straight and they were turning left? That's what the rules are here in Ontario, Canada anyway.
The triangles on the road, or shark teeth as we call them in Dutch, means he doesn't have priority I think. The other road has priority. As the motorcyclist and VW were able to move onto the road quicker due to the traffic situation they gained priority I think. While previously they were in the same situation waiting with shark teeth in front of them. At least that's how I read the situation. By the time the motorcyclist turned left Mark hadn't even moved yet, so from a traffic flow perspective it also makes sense to me this happened this way, it seemed natural.
inepthabit I can see that Mark was facing "Shark's Teeth", and so were the cars turning left. Here in Ontario (and probably everywhere in North America), there is a hierarchy to determine who has priority at a yield-controlled intersection such as this: 1. Vehicles or pedestrians along the main street (Absolute priority) 2. Vehicles turning off the main street onto the side street (Must yield to #1) 3. Vehicles or pedestrians crossing the main street (Must yield to #1 and #2) 4. Vehicles turning off the side street onto the main street (Must yield to #1, #2, and #3) Mark was in group #3, while the vehicles turning left were in group #4. So under Ontario road rules, although he didn't have priority over the cars on the main street, he would have priority over those vehicles. I'm guessing from your response that the hierarchy between #3 and #4 does not exist in The Netherlands.
@@OntarioTrafficMan Straight on always has priority in NL. There was a car nearing from Marks right hand side. For Mark it was the far lane. for the other two the near lane, they could safely cross because of that and because of fast acceleration.

I fell asleep watching this last night, you cannot say that about any videos of cycling in the UK... too 'eventful'.
