On seeing this sign, can the driver drive on its left or right?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you can see a traffic island at the entry to a junction, with sign C-11 "keep left or right of the sign" with two white arrows pointing down to both sides. On seeing this sign, a driver may pass it on the left or on the right - the answer is YES.
Sign C-11 means that you may pass the sign - and usually the traffic island on which it stands - on the right or on the left. The choice depends on where you are going: for example on the left if you turn left beyond the island, and on the right if you turn right. When going around the island, you do not drive onto the area closed to traffic, and you watch out for vehicles going around it on the other side. When passing on the left, check that you are not entering the part of the roadway intended for the opposite direction of traffic.
