Can you overtake a vehicle from the right at this intersection?

Show the correct answer

Correct answer

YES

Explanation

In the video you are driving in town in the right-hand lane of a two-way roadway with two lanes in your direction and approaching a junction with traffic lights; above the lanes there are traffic lights showing green and lane direction signs, and in the left-hand lane next to you there is a dark car. At this junction you may overtake it on the right. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act prohibits overtaking a power-driven vehicle at a junction, except at a roundabout or a junction where traffic is controlled, that is one with traffic lights or a police officer. Overtaking on the right, in turn, is allowed on a stretch with marked lanes on a two-way roadway if, in a built-up area, at least two lanes are intended for traffic in the same direction. Both conditions are met: the lanes are marked with road markings, and traffic at the junction is controlled by traffic lights. Before the manoeuvre, you make sure that you have space and visibility and that the driver in the left-hand lane is not signalling a lane change. With traffic lights, overtaking on the crossing is allowed, but you still give way to pedestrians who are finishing crossing.

Legal basis: Art. 24 para. 7 point 3 and para. 10 point 2 and Art. 26 para. 3 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
