Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are driving in the right lane of a street in a town and approaching a junction with traffic lights, where the red light is on; at this point the lanes in your direction are separated by a broken line, which turns into a solid one only further on, and on the right there is sign F-10. At this place you have the right to change to the left lane. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that the single broken line P-1 marks lanes and does not prohibit crossing it - the ban is introduced only by the solid line P-2, which starts closer to the junction. The Road Traffic Act requires you, when changing lanes, to give way to a vehicle travelling in the lane you are entering and to signal your intention with the indicator in advance. If you want to turn left, this is exactly where you do it: indicator, mirror, blind spot and a smooth move into the left lane before the solid line begins.
Legal basis: § 86 para. 1 and 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 22 para. 1, 4 and 5 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
