In this situation, if you turn right, do you have the right of way over a vehicle approaching from the left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street with parked cars towards a junction marked with sign A-5 "crossroads" and you intend to turn right, and a scooter is coming from the left. When turning right, you have right of way over it. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver approaching a junction to give way to a vehicle coming from the right, so the scooter rider, for whom you are the one on the right, gives way to you. The Regulation on road signs and signals states that A-5 warns of a junction where priority is not determined by signs. A right turn does not cross the path of a vehicle from the left, but the parked cars limit visibility, so you slow down and watch whether the scooter is really slowing down.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 5 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
