Are you allowed in this situation to change the traffic lane and turn right?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving in the left lane, where there is a P-8a arrow for straight on; the right lane, with an arrow for right and straight on, is separated from yours by a solid line P-2, and just ahead of you there is a pedestrian crossing and a junction. From your lane you may only go straight on, and you must not cross the solid line - changing lanes and turning right are out of the question. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that lane direction arrows P-8 mean that from the lane where they are painted you may drive only in the direction shown by the arrow, and line P-2 prohibits crossing it. You choose your lane earlier, while the line is still broken; if you made a mistake, you go straight on and make a U-turn further on, instead of breaking two rules at once.
Legal basis: § 87 para. 1 and § 86 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
