In this situation, are you obliged to give the right of way to the vehicle approaching from the opposite direction?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a cobbled street towards a junction; 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 right, so your street is a minor road, and a car is coming from the opposite direction. You are required to give way to it. The answer is: yes.
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 vehicle is travelling on the priority road, so you give way to it regardless of whether it is turning or going straight on, and regardless of what you intend to do. You slow down before the junction, stop if necessary and enter 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. 2 point 23 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
