Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching a large junction in a town, across which broken lines run, leading the lanes from one side of the junction to the other. Such a line means that the lane you are in continues, and it shows you how to drive so that you do not move onto the path of the vehicle next to you. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that marking P-1 "single broken line" marks lanes. At a junction, where the normal markings stop, broken lines guide drivers through its area - especially where there are several lanes or the junction is at an angle. You keep to your line and do not change lanes in the junction, unless the markings allow it.
Legal basis: § 86 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
