Are you allowed to turn left at the junction when driving on the right lane?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching a junction in the rain; on the right there are signs A-7 "give way", D-6 and D-3 "one-way road", so you are driving on a one-way roadway. A left turn from the right lane is not allowed - on a one-way roadway, before turning left, you move close to its left edge. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act states that a driver intending to turn left must move close to the centre of the roadway, and on a one-way roadway - to its left edge; changing direction requires particular caution and an indicator switched on in good time. A left turn from the right lane would cut across the path of vehicles driving in the left lane. You change to the left lane before the junction, and at sign A-7 you give way to vehicles on the intersecting road.
Legal basis: Art. 22 para. 1 and para. 2 point 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 44 para. 1 and § 5 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
