Are you allowed to turn left from the lane you are taking at the nearest intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a wide street in a town through a section of road works where the lanes are marked with yellow arrows; in your lane - the second from the left - a yellow arrow shows a left turn, although under it you can see an old white arrow for going straight on. The yellow arrow applies, so at the nearest junction you may turn left. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that when white and yellow markings contradict each other, the driver follows the yellow markings, and a lane direction arrow means that driving from the lane is allowed in the direction it shows. Temporary markings change the use of the lanes, so you read them well in advance. When turning left, you give way to oncoming vehicles, unless traffic is controlled by the green arrow of directional traffic lights S-3.
Legal basis: § 85 para. 3 and § 87 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
