Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a dual carriageway in town; on the right there is sign C-17 - a white rectangle with the symbol of a vehicle carrying dangerous goods, a blue right-turn arrow and a plate "150 m". This sign applies to vehicles with explosives or flammable materials. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign C-17 "mandatory direction for vehicles carrying dangerous goods" indicates the mandatory direction shown on the sign at the junction for vehicles carrying the dangerous goods defined in the provisions on sign B-13a, that is, in quantities that require the vehicle to be marked with orange warning plates. Dangerous goods are all the classes listed in the rules on the road transport of such goods: explosives, flammable gases, flammable liquids, toxic, corrosive and other substances. So vehicles with explosives or flammable materials belong to this group and must turn right in 150 m - usually to avoid a tunnel, a densely built-up area or a water intake. For the driver of a passenger car, the sign is only information that tankers and lorries with orange plates will soon be turning off to the right.
Legal basis: § 41 and § 19 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
