Are you allowed, in the presented situation, to enter the narrowed part of the road if it does not force the oncoming vehicle to stop?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching a narrowing of the roadway under a railway bridge; on the right there is sign B-31 "priority for oncoming traffic", and the vehicle coming from the opposite direction is still far away. You may enter the narrowed section if this does not force the oncoming driver to stop. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-31 prohibits drivers from entering a narrowed section of the roadway if this would force drivers who are on this section, or approaching it from the opposite direction, to stop. So the ban is conditional: what matters is the distance and speed of the oncoming vehicle. If you can get through the narrowing before the oncoming vehicle reaches it, you drive on; if in doubt, you stop before the narrowing and let it pass.
Legal basis: § 25 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
