You intend to continue driving straight on. In this situation do you have the right of way over the vehicle approaching from the right?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
You are driving along a residential road, and a red car is coming out from the right, through the gate of a fenced property. This is not a junction of roads, so the rule "the vehicle from the right has right of way" does not apply here. The driver leaving the property is joining traffic (włączanie się do ruchu) and must give way to you.
The Road Traffic Act says directly that joining traffic happens when entering a road from a property, from a roadside facility or from a road that is not a public road, and a driver who is joining traffic exercises particular caution and gives way to other vehicles. The right-hand rule applies to junctions of equal roads, not to exits from gates, car parks or petrol stations. Even though you have right of way, watch that car - someone may forget about this rule.
Legal basis: Art. 17 para. 1 point 1 and para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
