Is it permitted to drive straight ahead or right from a lane with the visible horizontal sign?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you can see a lane with a combined lane direction arrow painted on it for going straight on and turning left. From this lane you are not allowed to go "straight on or right" - the answer is NO.
Lane direction arrows mean that from that lane you may only travel in the directions they show, and combined symbols allow travel in each of the directions shown. Here the arrows show going straight on and turning left. You may go straight on, but turning right from this lane is prohibited, so the statement "straight on or right" is false. If you want to turn right, you move in good time into the lane marked with a right arrow. A left-turn arrow in the far left lane also allows a U-turn, unless this is prohibited by sign B-23 or traffic is controlled by directional traffic lights S-3.
Legal basis: § 87 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
