Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, you are driving along a street in a town next to a park; on the right there is sign D-1 "priority road" with plate T-6a, on which the thick line comes from the bottom and turns right, and a thin line branches off to the left. You are approaching a junction with a minor road. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-1 marks the beginning or continuation of a priority road, and plate T-6a placed under it shows the actual course of the priority road through the junction: the thick line is the priority road, the thin one - minor roads. Sign D-1 alone already tells you that you are on a priority road, so every road joining it at the nearest junction is a minor road - its entry is marked with sign A-7 or B-20. The plate specifies that the side road is on the left. In practice, this means that you do not apply the right-hand rule, but drive with right of way along the thick line, to the right, watching the entry on the left. Right of way does not release you from caution: the principle of limited trust tells you to allow for someone coming out without stopping.
Legal basis: § 43 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
