You intend to go straight ahead. Are you obliged to give way to the vehicle approaching from the right?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
You are approaching a junction where traffic is controlled by traffic lights. In the video, the signal for your direction changes to green, and there is also sign D-1 "priority road" here. When you have green, vehicles on the intersecting road have red, so when going straight on you do not have to give way to a vehicle from the right.
The rule "the vehicle from the right has right of way" works only where right of way is not determined by traffic light signals or signs. The Road Traffic Act says that traffic light signals take precedence over signs that regulate right of way, and signs take precedence over the general rule. A green light is permission to go beyond the traffic lights - provided that you do not make it difficult for pedestrians to leave the roadway and that there is space beyond the junction to continue driving.
Legal basis: Art. 5 para. 3 and Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 95 para. 1 point 1 and para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
