You intend to continue going straight ahead. Are you obliged to yield the right of way to the vehicle approaching from the left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a residential street and approaching a junction where there are no signs that set the right of way; a car is coming from the left. At an uncontrolled junction of equal roads the right-hand rule applies: the vehicle from the left has you on its right side, so it is the one that gives way. Going straight on, you do not have to give way to it. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver approaching a junction to exercise particular caution and to give way to a vehicle coming from the right. The vehicle from the left does not have right of way, but you do not assume that its driver will surely stop - you slow down and watch whether it is really braking before you enter the junction.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
