If you go straight, do you have the right of way over a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction and turning left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching a junction in a town; before it, on the right, there is sign B-20 "STOP" with sign D-6 and plate T-27; you are going straight on, and a white car turning left is coming from the opposite direction, from the same street. You have right of way over it. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act states that a driver turning left gives way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and going straight on or turning right. Sign B-20 concerns your relation to the intersecting road - you must stop before it and give way to vehicles travelling on it - but between you and the oncoming car, which is also on the minor road, the general rule applies. You stop at the sign, let the vehicles on the intersecting road pass and move off straight on, watching whether the driver turning left is really waiting.
