Are you still allowed to turn right in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving in the middle lane of a wide approach to a junction with traffic lights; in your lane there is a P-8a arrow for straight on, and the lanes on the right, with arrows for turning right, are separated from yours by warning line P-6, which becomes a solid line just before the junction. From a lane with a straight-on arrow you must not turn right, and it is already too late to change lanes. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that from a lane with a lane direction arrow you may drive only in the direction shown by the arrow, and warning line P-6 warns that you are approaching solid line P-2, which you must not cross. You should have chosen the lane for turning earlier, before the warning line. If you are too late, you go straight on as the arrow shows and look for another route - a sudden turn across the solid line is a petty offence and a risk of collision.
Legal basis: § 87 para. 1 and § 86 para. 3 and 7 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
