You intend to turn left. Do you have the right of way over the vehicle coming straight from the opposite direction?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are approaching a large junction with traffic lights; the S-1 traffic lights are showing green, and you intend to turn left while vehicles going straight on are coming from the opposite direction. An ordinary green light does not give you right of way over them. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act states that a driver turning left gives way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction that is going straight on or turning right. The green signal of the S-1 traffic lights only permits you to go beyond the traffic lights - drivers coming from the opposite direction have green at the same time too. You enter the junction, stop near its centre and turn when there is a gap, or after the lights change, when the oncoming traffic stops.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 95 para. 1 point 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
