Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
The photo shows sign B-32 with the inscription "Pobór Opłat" (toll collection) and a plate "100 m" under it, and the gates in the distance. Plate T-21 under a prohibitory sign shows the distance from the sign to the place where the prohibition - here the duty to stop - starts to apply. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that plate T-21 placed under a prohibitory sign shows the distance from the sign to the place from which or at which the prohibition applies, unlike T-20, which, with arrows, shows the length of the section covered by the prohibition. Sign B-32 means that you must stop at the designated place; you may drive on after permission or a signal. The plate gives you time to slow down and get into the correct lane.
Legal basis: § 15 para. 5 point 2 and § 26 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
