Are you allowed in this situation to change to the left lane if you intend to turn right?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving under a flyover in a lane that leads straight on; on the left there is a lane with an arrow for turning left, but it is separated from your lane by solid line P-2. You must not cross it, so you cannot change to the left lane, even if you want to turn left. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that marking P-2 "single solid line" separates lanes going in the same direction and means that crossing this line and driving on it are prohibited. A solid line is painted before a junction exactly so that drivers do not change lanes at the last moment. You chose your lane too late - you go straight on and make a U-turn further on, instead of breaking the rules.
Legal basis: § 86 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
