And yes you should wait for pedestrians and cyclists first if you want to turn right. That is the traffic law. And maybe you can park your car on the curb so that you don't need to wait for pedestrians either!
- KozmoNau7 9y agoPulling right up to the curb is the correct way to prepare for a right turn in a car, while sharing the road with bicycles, as taught in driver's ed here in Denmark. And yes, obviously you check your mirrors and do a good shoulder check, that goes without saying. But you ALSO pull to the curb after checking mirrors+over your shoulder, to claim the lane while preparing for your turn. You pull in either in front of or behind the cyclists, because the dangerous situations happen when you're side by side. If there's a bike lane, you obviously don't pull across that, this only applies for streets without bike lanes.
