Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a road in town over a bridge with barriers; on the right there is a blue rectangular sign with two arrows - a white arrow pointing down on the left and a white arrow pointing up on the right - F-15. The visible sign shows the lanes intended for driving in the given directions. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign F-15 "asymmetric division of the roadway for opposite directions of traffic" shows the lanes intended for driving in the given directions. The arrow pointing down means a lane for vehicles coming from the opposite direction, the arrow pointing up - the lane for you; on this roadway the opposite direction has two lanes and your direction has one, hence "asymmetric division". The directions are separated by the double solid line P-4, which you must not drive across. The sign removes a doubt that could arise on a wide roadway: this is not a one-way road with three lanes, but a two-way roadway on which only the right lane is yours. The practical consequences: you must not enter the lanes to the left of line P-4, and you must not overtake or make a U-turn across it.
Legal basis: § 75 para. 1 and § 86 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
