Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are leaving a car park between blocks of flats, and at the exit there is sign D-47 "end of internal road". Beyond it there is a public road. Entering a public road from a road that is not a public road is joining traffic (włączanie się do ruchu) - also when you are going straight on. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act counts entering a road from a property, a roadside facility, a road that is not a public road or a residential area as joining traffic. The Regulation on road signs and signals says that D-47 marks the exit from an internal road onto a public road. When joining traffic, you exercise particular caution and give way to all vehicles and pedestrians, no matter which side they come from.
Legal basis: Art. 17 para. 1 point 1 and para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 58 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
