Do you have to yield the right of way to the motorcyclist when turning left in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a priority street marked with sign D-1 with plate T-6a, on which the thick line turns left and the thin lines go straight on and to the right - so the priority road is your street and its branch to the left; you intend to turn left, and a motorcyclist is approaching from the right, from a minor road. You are not obliged to give way to him. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that plate T-6a shows the actual course of the priority road; the arrangement of the signs means that vehicles from the minor roads - from the right and from the opposite direction - give way to vehicles travelling on the priority road, including those that are turning. The right-hand rule does not apply where right of way is determined by signs. You turn left with your indicator on, checking whether the motorcyclist and any oncoming vehicles are really waiting.
Legal basis: § 43 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
