On a line marked by triangular road markings, are you unconditionally obliged to stop the vehicle?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you have stopped at the entry to a junction with a side street; in front of you, a line made of white triangles is painted on the roadway - P-13 "give-way line made of triangles". You do not have to stop the vehicle unconditionally before this line. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that marking P-13 shows the place where the vehicle stops in order to give way as required by vertical sign A-7; an unconditional stop is required only by line P-12, made of solid rectangles, which goes with sign B-20. So the triangles are the equivalent of the "give way" sign: you stop before them only when something is coming along the priority road. You slow down, look both ways, and if the road is clear, you drive on without stopping; if not - you stop before the line and wait.
Legal basis: § 89 para. 1 and 2 and § 5 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
