So, taken in a minor city in France while away for work.

Traffic comes from the left as well as straight on - So how many know who has priority & why?

If u drive now in France & don’t know, you’re in for a surprise

The cyclist/pedestrian

Is it still not they you have priority unless signed as priorité à droite?

Belgium and the Netherlands have a weird system in some towns where traffic turning from side roads has priority over drivers already on the road they are turning onto.

BMW drivers have priority naturally.

Europe does tend to have some what appears to be illogical rules off the road. Here in Spain for instance if there are two lanes (or more) on the roundabout the car on the nearside has the right to go left whilst the person on the outside lane looking to go straight ahead has to stop and wait and let the person on the inside continue going left! I have seen quite a few accidents where holiday makers / foreigners get caught out by this odd rule!

History will tell us that priority in this case goes to the chap in the panzer

I see none of you have a clue... & I had to ask.

You need to look out for this sign coz it means you must give way...

That's cheating! That sign isn't even in the photo!

Anyway, it's irrelevant really. Just keep going and at the first sign of trouble the locals will wave a white flag and retreat

Technically it is if you look close enough at the shadowed area under the tree... & if u were approaching
