Beyond this sign, are you obliged to give way to vehicles approaching from the right at the junction?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
Sign D-48 "change of priority" warns that at the nearest junction the rules of right of way have been changed or will soon change. Symbol A-5 on the sign shows the new rule: an uncontrolled junction of equal roads, where right of way is not determined by signs. At such a junction the right-hand rule applies, so beyond this sign you must be prepared to give way to a vehicle approaching from the right.
The Regulation on road signs and signals says that sign D-48 warns about a coming or recently introduced change in the rules of right of way at the nearest junction, and the text under the sign gives the date of introduction of the new rule, shown with sign A-5 or A-7. The Road Traffic Act requires you to give way at a junction to a vehicle approaching from the right. The sign is placed where for years drivers drove "out of habit" as if on a priority road.
Legal basis: § 59 and § 5 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
