You intend to continue driving to the left at the nearest intersection. In this situation, are you obliged to yield priority to vehicles approaching from the opposite direction?

In the photo you are driving in town along a street with cars parked on the right; on the right there is sign D-1 "priority road" with plate T-6a, on which the thick line leads from the bottom to the left - the priority road turns left, and going straight on means entering the minor road. When turning left, you do not have to give way to oncoming vehicles. The answer is: no.

The Regulation on road signs and signals states that plate T-6a under sign D-1 shows the actual course of the priority road through the junction. Since the thick line turns left, when you turn left you stay on the priority road the whole time, and vehicles coming from the opposite direction enter the junction from the minor section, marked on their side with sign A-7 or B-20 - they must give way to you. The usual rule from the Road Traffic Act that a driver turning left gives way to oncoming vehicles going straight on or turning right applies to uncontrolled junctions of equal roads and to situations when you are both on the priority road; here the signs change it. You switch on your indicator, slow down and make sure that the oncoming driver is actually stopping.
