The other day, I was driving with my bike through a bicycle street (fietsstraat) in Belgium. In these kind of streets, cars cannot overtake the bikes in the street. But when there's a car coming from the right, do I have to give priority to that car or can I just ride along?

  • Was the street your were on, or the crossing, indicated as having preference over the side street?

If the street or crossing does not have an indication that traffic on your street has preference over the side streets, the normal rule of 'yield for traffic from the right' tells you what to do.



Being on a 'fietsstraat' does not give you magical preference over cars if other rules tell that the car should get the right of way.



Besides, as the car can not overtake you on the street farther down, it is good practice to let the car go in front of you even when you would usually get in front of it according to the local rules, (like when they come from the left.) The only exception to that 'gentleman behavior' is as you can see the car will get stuck in traffic a little down the road where you as cyclist can get past that point, but even then you will have to let a car from the right go first.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
