If you turn right, do you have the right of way over a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a cobbled street in a town and approaching a junction with sign A-7 "give way" with plate T-6c, on which the thick line runs from the entry opposite and turns right; you intend to turn right, and a 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. Since the priority road runs from the entry opposite to the right, the oncoming vehicle is travelling on it, and you want to enter the same roadway from your minor street. The usual rule that a driver turning right has right of way over a driver turning left does not apply here, because priority is determined by signs. You stop and wait until the oncoming car has passed.
Legal basis: § 5 para. 5 and 7 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
