If you turn left, do you have the right of way over a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction?

Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching a junction of streets in a housing estate; before it, on the right, there is sign A-7 "give way" with plate T-6c; the thick line on the plate runs from the entry opposite and turns left, and your street is a minor road. You intend to turn left, and a white car is coming from the opposite direction. You do not have right of way over it. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-7 warns of a junction with a priority road, and its name "give way" tells you directly what to do - the Road Traffic Act requires you to obey signs, so you give way to drivers travelling on that road; plate T-6c under the sign shows its actual route. The oncoming car is travelling on the priority road, so you give way to it regardless of where it is turning; in addition, when turning left, you would give way to an oncoming vehicle going straight on anyway. You stop before the junction and you turn only when the priority road is clear.
Legal basis: § 5 para. 5 and 7 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)
