You plan to turn right and the bus driver intends to turn left. Have you got priority over him?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are driving along a street in a town and approaching a junction; before it, on the right, there is sign B-20 STOP with plate T-6c; the thick line on the plate runs from the entry opposite and turns right, so the priority road is the entry opposite and the intersecting road on the right, and your street and the street on the left are minor roads. You intend to turn right, and the bus from the opposite direction, that is from the priority road, wants to turn left. You do not have right of way over it. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-20 requires you to stop before the priority road and give way to drivers travelling on it, and plate T-6c shows the actual course of this road. The rule that a driver turning left gives way to a driver turning right works only between vehicles with equal priority, for example when both are driving on the priority road or both on roads of equal status. You stop at the STOP sign and wait until the bus has turned.
Legal basis: § 21 para. 1 and 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 1 and Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
