At this intersection, can you turn left from the lane you are occupying?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching, in the left lane, a roundabout marked with signs C-12 and A-7; on your lane there is a painted arrow P-8 that allows you to go left and straight on, and on the right lane - only to the right. So from the lane you are in, you have the right to turn left. 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 that combined arrow symbols mean permission to travel in the directions shown. The Road Traffic Act also requires a driver turning left to move towards the centre of the roadway, that is to take the left lane - exactly the one you are in. At a roundabout with signs C-12 and A-7, you give way to vehicles already going around the junction, and a left turn means going around the island to the third exit, with your indicator switched on before you leave.
Legal basis: § 87 para. 1 and § 36 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 22 para. 2 point 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
