Can you enter the road past this sign for the purpose of making a U-turn?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you have stopped before the entrance to a narrow street in the old town, and on the corner of a building there is sign B-1 "no traffic in either direction" - a white disc with a red border. You are not allowed to enter this road, even just to make a U-turn. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-1 means a ban on the movement of vehicles, columns of pedestrians, riders and drovers on the road; the only exception is for vehicles shown on a "Nie dotyczy" (does not apply) plate, and there is no such plate here. Driving in a few metres to turn around is already movement of a vehicle on this road, so it is covered by the ban. You can make a U-turn on the street you are driving along, if the conditions allow it, or at the nearest junction where it is not prohibited.
Legal basis: § 16 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 22 para. 6 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
