You intend to turn left at the intersection. Are you obliged in this situation to give way to the oncoming vehicle going straight ahead?
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 intend to turn left, and oncoming cars are going straight on. When turning left, you give way to them. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act states that a driver turning left gives way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction going straight on or turning right. The green light on general traffic lights S-1 does not change this rule - oncoming drivers have the same green. The STOP sign does not apply when the traffic lights are working, because light signals take precedence over signs regulating right of way. You enter the junction and wait for a gap in the oncoming traffic.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 5 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
