I generally follow traffic rules---just because I don't want to get squashed----heck-most of my riding is on the trails anymore.

BUT-"technically"---traffic laws don't apply to cyclists----otherwise-wouldn't I need a bicycle operators license? proof of insurance?? go through an examination process in regard with my ability to safely operate a bicycle???

Not that I've lost my license or anything---but wouldn't a drunk driver who lost their license---who's cycling instead of hoofing it---be banned from cycling if traffic laws applied to cyclists???


As to who has the "Most" right of way on a road:
1.Pedestrian
2.Cyclist--Skateboarder etc
3.Motor-vehicle

In the eyes of the law at least----although it doesn't usually work that way in reality.
