Can you go straight from this lane?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving in the right lane of a wide street in the town centre and approaching a junction with traffic lights; a combined lane direction arrow is painted in your lane - straight on and to the right. You are allowed to go straight on from this lane. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that lane direction arrows P-8 mean that driving from the lane on which they are placed is allowed only in the direction shown by the arrow, and combined arrow symbols mean permission to move in the directions shown by all the arrows. Since there are two arrowheads in your lane - straight on and to the right - you may choose either of these directions; only a left turn is excluded. When going straight on, you watch out for vehicles in the neighbouring lane on the left, which also go straight on when the light is green.
Legal basis: § 87 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
