Are you allowed in this situation to use the lane by the right edge of the road on Sundays?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are driving along a street in a town where the lane at the right edge has marking P-22 "BUS", and the blue sign D-12 for the bus lane, with the words "BUS" and "TAXI", has a plate "Obowiązuje pn.-pt. w godz. 7-9 i 14-18" (applies Monday to Friday, 7-9 and 14-18). On Sunday the bus lane does not apply, so you may use this lane. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that the text on a plate under a sign is an integral part of the sign and may specify the period when it applies. Outside the stated days and hours, the lane at the right edge is an ordinary traffic lane for all vehicles. However, you read the plate carefully: on working days during rush hours, entering the bus lane in a passenger car is prohibited and ends with a fine.
Legal basis: § 2 para. 4 and 4a and § 49 para. 1 point 2 and para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
