Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street in a town and approaching a junction; before it, on the right, there is sign B-20 "STOP" with plate T-6c. The thick line on the plate runs from the road opposite and turns right, so the priority road is the road opposite and the intersecting road on the right, while your street and the street on the left are minor roads. You are going straight on, and the motorcyclist coming from the opposite direction, that is from the priority road, wants to turn left. You must give way to him. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-20 requires you to stop before the priority road and give way to the drivers moving along it, and plate T-6c under this sign shows the actual course of the priority road. The rule that a driver turning left gives way to a driver going straight on applies only between vehicles on roads of equal status. You stop at the STOP sign and wait until the motorcyclist has turned.
Legal basis: § 21 para. 1 and 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
