Who has right of way here?
Everyone has a right of way here that has a right to use to the highway.
Priority is the term, and is a confused mess in the courts. A driver can run you down from behind and blame the sun, they can cut across you at a crossroads and blame your visibility...
In the new highway code priority lies with the more vulnerable user, in most cases( are there any where it's still ambiguous?). A cyclist has priority over a motor vehicle, this is a tiger crossing that's supposed to offer the same utility a zebra crossing offers a pedestrian. And priority to the crossing traffic over those using the carriageway.
They're boys perfect due to a lack of a respectful culture on our roads, but at least they are a step towards reversing motor dominance. Tiger crossings are rare because council engineers are anxious about what their implementation, but they do represent a reasonable engineering solution...

Who has right of way here?
Cycle lane routes directly across a road. Is next to a zebra crossing but not a zebra crossing.
I take this route every day and cars seem to stop for cyclists, but one day I'm sure someone won't.
Seems quite an odd design to me particularly with no signage covering right of way... normally from what i've seen when cycle lane cross roads there is a traffic light managing it.
