Are you allowed in this situation to drive straight on from the lane you are using?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving in the middle lane through a section of roadworks with a red and white guide board and a barrier in the lane next to you; in your lane a white arrow shows going straight on, but a yellow arrow painted on it orders a left turn. The yellow arrow applies, so you must not go straight on. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that when white and yellow signs conflict, the yellow signs apply, and a lane direction arrow means that driving from the lane is allowed only in the direction it shows. A temporary traffic arrangement may lead you in a completely different way from the permanent one. If you want to go straight on, you move early into the left lane, where the white straight-on arrows have not been changed, before the lines between the lanes become solid.
Legal basis: § 85 para. 3 and § 87 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
