the lane for right turning cars can be used for cyclists who wants to cross the junction (straight and right turning), marking of bicycle pictogram and arrows

mostly used where a bicycle lane starts after the intersection, and there is not enough space for marking a bicycle lane in the approach to the junction

pilot infrastructure => solution is planned to be added to the german national guidelines for cycling infrastructure
