In this situation, are you on a road with priority?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, you are driving in summer along a road outside a town, with trees on the left and fields on the right, and you are approaching a junction; on the right there is a yellow triangle with a thick vertical line and a thin branch to the left - sign A-6c "junction with a minor road on the left". You are on a priority road. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that signs A-6a, A-6b and A-6c warn of a junction with a minor road on the side shown on the sign, and a minor road is a road marked in such a way that a driver approaching the junction on it must give way to those travelling on the priority road - sign A-7 or B-20 stands where it joins the junction. Since the road on the left is a minor road, your road is a priority road: vehicles coming out from the left must give way to you, and the right-hand rule from the Road Traffic Act does not apply. Sign A-6c, like every warning sign, requires you to exercise particular caution: a driver coming out of the side road may not notice their sign or may misjudge your speed. So you watch the entry on the left and are ready to brake.
Legal basis: § 5 para. 2 point 3, § 1 para. 2 point 2 and § 3 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
