In this situation, when turning right at the intersection, do you have the right of way over vehicles approaching from the left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video we approach a junction in the right lane, which has a right-turn arrow; the traffic lights show a red signal, and next to it a green arrow pointing right; signs A-7 and D-6 stand next to the traffic lights. When turning right, you do not have right of way over vehicles approaching from the left - the answer is NO.
A green arrow with a red light allows a turn only if you will not obstruct other road users. Vehicles approaching from the left are driving on a green signal and have right of way - you enter their road only conditionally. You stop before the traffic lights, look left and turn only into a gap in which the driver from the left will not have to slow down. In addition, you let through pedestrians and cyclists on the crossings. Sign A-7 next to the traffic lights only matters when the traffic lights are switched off or show flashing amber, but the way the arrow works requires you to give way anyway.
Legal basis: § 96 para. 1 and 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
