Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we are driving along a residential street between blocks of flats, past parked cars, towards a junction with signs A-5 "crossroads" and D-6 "pedestrian crossing" in front of it. When you turn left there, you are obliged to give way to vehicles approaching from the right - the answer is YES.
Sign A-5 warns of a junction where priority is not set by signs, that is, an uncontrolled junction of equal roads. The rule from the Road Traffic Act applies there: a driver approaching the junction gives way to a vehicle approaching from the right, and if turning left - also to vehicles coming from the opposite direction going straight on or turning right. So when you turn left, you have the most obligations: you let through vehicles from the right and from the opposite direction, and when turning, also pedestrians crossing the roadway you are entering. A tram also has right of way over you, whichever side it comes from.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 and 2 and Art. 26 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 5 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
