Is the right lane in this situation devoted to any vehicle?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving in the right lane of a wide town street; a lane-change arrow P-9 pointing left is painted on your lane, further on the right lane shows the inscription P-22 "BUS", and a blue sign D-11 by the road with the words "BUS" and "TAXI" shows the start of a bus lane, which taxis may also use. So the right lane is not for every vehicle. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-11 means the beginning of a lane only for buses and other vehicles carrying passengers for payment on regular routes, and an inscription on the sign allows the vehicle named by that inscription to use it; the inscription P-22 "BUS" on the roadway means the same. Arrow P-9 requires you to move into the neighbouring lane. So in a passenger car you change to the left lane, even if the bus lane is empty.
Legal basis: § 49 para. 1 point 1 and para. 2, § 87 para. 3 and § 91 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
