You are going straight through the junction. Do you have the right of way over the oncoming vehicle turning left?

Show the correct answer

Correct answer

YES

Explanation

In the video, you approach a junction with sign B-20 "STOP" and traffic lights showing green; you are going straight on, and an oncoming car wants to turn left. It is the one crossing your path, so right of way belongs to you. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act requires a driver turning left to give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction going straight on or turning right. The STOP sign does not apply when the traffic lights are working, because light signals take precedence over signs regulating right of way - you follow the green light. However, right of way does not release you from caution: you watch whether the turning driver really stops.

Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 5 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
