Are you allowed to overtake vehicles on other lanes at a junction marked in such a way?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are entering a junction marked with sign C-12 "roundabout" together with A-7 "give way". The roundabout has several lanes, and a lorry is driving in front of you. Overtaking is not prohibited at a roundabout, so you may overtake vehicles driving in other lanes. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits overtaking at a junction, but excludes from this ban a roundabout and a junction where traffic is controlled. A roundabout has a one-way roadway with marked lanes, so overtaking on the right is also allowed. However, the general conditions apply: changing lanes with particular caution and giving way to those driving in the lane you are moving into.
Legal basis: Art. 24 para. 7 point 3 and para. 10 point 1 and Art. 22 para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 36 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
