In this situation, do the signs notify you of the end of the lane on the right side of the roadway?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving in the middle lane of a three-lane motorway between noise barriers; on both sides of the roadway there are blue signs D-14 "end of lane", on which, of the three lanes, the far left one ends, and the arrow from it bends to the right, into the middle lane. The signs do not inform you about the end of a lane on the right side of the roadway. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-14 "end of lane" marks the end of the lane at the very edge of the roadway on the side shown on the sign. On both signs it is the left line that ends - it is the left lane that disappears, and drivers in it will have to move into the middle lane; the middle and right lanes continue without change. For you in the middle lane, this means being ready for cars joining from the left - the Road Traffic Act requires drivers in the ending lane to give way to those travelling in the lane they are entering, but when traffic is heavy and slow, the zipper merge (jazda na suwak) applies: you let one car in ahead of you, right before the end of the lane.
Legal basis: § 49 para. 5 and § 50 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 22 para. 4 and 4a of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
