Does the sign placed on the right roadway mean that it is closed to the traffic?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, you are driving on a dual carriageway; a slip road branches off to the right, and at its entrance there is sign B-1 "no traffic in both directions" - a white circle with a red border - as well as white and red boards and a barrier. A prohibition sign placed on the right roadway means that it is closed to traffic. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-1 means a ban on the movement of vehicles, columns of pedestrians, riders and people driving animals on the road, and that the sign may be placed on the roadway. This is how, for example, an exit that has not yet been opened for use or a section under repair is closed. You carry on along your roadway and look for the next exit, even if the road beyond the sign looks finished.
Legal basis: § 16 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
