Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are driving along a street in a town, and on the right there is sign A-5 "crossroads" - a yellow triangle with a black cross. It warns that you are approaching a junction where the right of way is not determined by signs. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-5 warns of a crossroads where the right of way is not determined by signs. This means that at the nearest junction the right-hand rule applies: you give way to a vehicle approaching from the right, and when turning left - also to vehicles coming from the opposite direction and going straight on or turning right. Fences and houses block the view of the road on the right here, so you slow down so that you can stop if someone comes out from there.
Legal basis: § 5 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
