If you intend to go straight, can you enter this intersection from any lane?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are approaching a junction with traffic lights before a roundabout marked with signs A-7 and C-12; the roadway has three lanes: in the left one an arrow for straight on and left is painted, in the middle one - straight on, and in the right one - only right. If you intend to go straight on, you cannot enter the junction from any lane you like. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that lane direction arrows mean that driving from the lane on which they are placed is allowed only in the direction shown by the arrow. So you can go straight on from the left or middle lane, but not from the right one, which leads only to the right. You choose your lane in advance, looking at the arrows and signs F-10 before the junction, because changing lanes at the junction itself is dangerous and often prohibited by a solid line.
Legal basis: § 87 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 22 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
