Are you allowed to turn right in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving in the middle lane of a wide multi-lane road; on the right, in the far right lane, there is a car with a trailer, and the line separating your lane from the right lane is solid at this point. You are not allowed to turn right now, that is, to move into the right lane. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that marking P-2 "single solid line" separates lanes going in the same direction and means that crossing this line and driving on it is prohibited. The Road Traffic Act also requires you, when changing lanes, to give way to a vehicle travelling in the lane you intend to move into - and that lane is occupied by the car with a trailer. If you want to move to the right, you wait until the line becomes broken, and change lanes behind the trailer, with your indicator.
Legal basis: § 86 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 22 para. 1, 4 and 5 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
