Right of way
Explanation
When you find yourself driving on a road with a **high presence of cyclists**, it is essential to **take the necessary precautions for their safety**. Here we explain why:
- **Right of way**: Cyclists have the right of way in certain situations, such as when they are riding on a bike lane, a cyclist crossing, or a well-marked shoulder. They also have the right of way if a vehicle wants to turn and there are cyclists nearby, or if they are riding in a group and one of them has already entered an intersection. In these cases, other vehicles must wait for the entire group of cyclists to pass.
- **Riding on the shoulder**: Cyclists must ride on the shoulder if there is no specific lane for them. However, they can leave the shoulder and use the right side of the lane under certain conditions, such as on downhill slopes with curves. Additionally, they can ride two abreast, but must ride single file in sections with poor visibility or heavy traffic.

- **Yielding**: To yield to cyclists, it is important to gradually reduce speed and, if necessary, stop or drive slowly until the cyclists have passed and you can continue safely.
Taking these precautions is not only a matter of complying with the rules but also of ensuring the safety of all road users, especially cyclists, who are more vulnerable.
