Are you allowed to turn left at the intersection from the lane you are taking?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving in the right lane through a road works section with yellow markings: on your lane a yellow arrow requires you to go right, and the white arrow under it is crossed out with a yellow cross. So you are not allowed to turn left from the right lane. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that when white and yellow signs contradict each other, the yellow ones apply, and a lane direction arrow allows driving from the lane only in the direction it shows. Temporary yellow markings often guide traffic differently from the permanent ones, so at road works you read them in advance. If you want to turn left, you move in good time into the lane with the yellow left arrow, while the yellow line between the lanes is still broken.
Legal basis: § 85 para. 3 and § 87 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
