Can you pass the stationary obstacle by using the part of the road intended only for the oncoming vehicles?

Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, you are driving along a street in the city centre, and in your lane there is a road service vehicle with a red and white closure board, whose arrows show that you should go around it on the left; there are traffic cones in front of it. The only way leads through the part of the roadway for oncoming traffic, and the line separating the directions has a broken section on your side next to the obstacle. You may go around the obstacle if you do not force anyone coming from the opposite direction to brake. The answer is: yes.
When you go around an obstacle, the Road Traffic Act requires you to keep a safe distance from it and, if necessary, to reduce speed, and the general rule of caution prohibits actions that could cause danger. When you enter the opposite lane, you do not have right of way - you wait until nothing is coming from the opposite direction, and you return to your lane immediately after the obstacle.
Legal basis: Art. 23 para. 1 point 2 and Art. 3 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 86 para. 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
