If you intend to turn right in this situation, should you continue further on the lane you are occupying and change it immediately before the junction?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving on a wide street with four lanes in your direction; sign F-10 "lane directions" on the right shows that you may turn right only from the far right lane. When you intend to turn right, you move towards the right edge of the roadway in good time, not at the last moment before the junction. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver who intends to turn right to move towards the right edge of the roadway, and to change lanes with particular caution and signal it in good time. The Regulation on road signs and signals says that F-10 shows the permitted directions of travel from individual lanes. Changing several lanes at once just before a junction means driving diagonally across other vehicles' paths - you change lanes gradually, one at a time, well in advance.
Legal basis: Art. 22 para. 1, para. 2 point 1 and para. 5 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 72 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
