Does this sign warn you of approaching a crossroads with a side road to the left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, you are driving on a road outside town, between trees on the left and fields on the right, and approaching a junction; on the right there is a yellow triangle on which a thin branch goes off to the left from a thick vertical line - sign A-6c. This sign warns you that you are approaching a junction with a minor road on the left. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-6c "junction with a minor road on the left" warns of a junction with a minor road on the side shown on the sign. You read the symbol like a map seen from above: the thick vertical line is the road you are driving on, and the thin line on the left is the side road whose drivers must give way to you, because sign A-7 or B-20 stands in front of them. If the branch were on the right, you would see sign A-6b, and if it were on both sides - A-6a. You have right of way, but warning signs require you to exercise particular caution - so you look to the left to check that nobody is coming out without stopping, and you are ready to brake.
Legal basis: § 5 para. 2 point 3 and § 3 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
