Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching a junction with traffic lights, behind which there are roadworks - you can see red and white guide boards and barriers. There are white straight-on arrows on the roadway, and on them yellow arrows that order a turn: the yellow temporary markings are more important here and you must follow them. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that if there are white and yellow signs on the road that show different ways of behaving, the driver must follow the yellow signs. Yellow lines and arrows are painted for the duration of a changed traffic arrangement, and the old white markings often stay under them. So at roadworks you look at the yellow colour first, and you treat the white markings as if they did not exist.
Legal basis: § 85 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
