Do these horizontal signs allow you to turn left before the pedestrian crossing?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching a junction with a pedestrian crossing; on the left, still before the crossing, there is a roadway from which cars are coming towards you, and where it meets your road there is sign B-2 "no entry". If you turned left before the crossing, you would drive the wrong way into a one-way roadway. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-2 means that vehicles are prohibited from entering the road or roadway from the side where the sign is placed. Such a sign is placed at the exit end of a one-way roadway that vehicles only leave. A left turn would be possible only at the junction, after the crossing, if the signs and markings allow it.
Legal basis: § 17 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
