Are you allowed in this situation to change the lane you are occupying?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are driving in the right lane next to a flyover behind lorries, and on the roadway a white lane-change arrow is crossed out with a yellow cross. The yellow cross cancels the white marking, so the order to change lanes does not apply - you may change lanes or not, as needed. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that when there are white and yellow signs on the road that indicate different behaviour, the yellow ones apply; a yellow cross painted on a white marking is the way of cancelling it for the time of road works. The lanes are separated by a broken line, so changing lanes is allowed - with particular caution, after checking the mirrors and using your indicator.
Legal basis: § 85 para. 3 and § 86 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 22 para. 1 and 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
