You are driving a motor vehicle. Are you allowed to go straight across the intersection from the lane you are occupying?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving on a street in a town in the left lane, which has arrow P-8b for turning left painted on it, a bicycle symbol P-23 and a second left arrow; the next lane on the right has a straight-on arrow. The arrow in your lane allows you to go only left, so when driving a power-driven vehicle, you cannot go straight on from it. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that lane direction arrows mean that driving from the lane where they are placed is allowed only in the direction shown by the arrow, and an arrow with a bicycle symbol in front of it shows the direction of traffic for cyclists. The bicycle symbol tells you that cyclists also use this lane, so when turning left, you keep a distance from them. If you want to go straight on, you move early into the lane next to you.
Legal basis: § 87 para. 1 and 2a and § 91 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
