Does the line on the road composed of triangles indicate a place of conditional stop in order to yield the right of way?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching a junction in a town; in the distance you can see sign A-7, and a line made of white triangles is painted on the roadway. This is give-way line P-13, which shows where to stop when you have to give way. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that marking P-13 "give-way line made of triangles" shows the place to stop the vehicle in order to give way as required by sign A-7. The word "conditional" in its Polish name (linia warunkowego zatrzymania) is the key: you do not have to stop if the priority road is clear, and if you have to stop - you do it before the triangles. You tell it apart from line P-12 at the STOP sign, which requires you to stop every time.
Legal basis: § 89 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; § 5 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
