Are you allowed to turn right without stopping in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are approaching a junction with a priority road, before which there is sign B-20 "STOP"; a combined left-and-right-turn arrow is painted in your lane, and on the right two people are walking along the pavement. Turning right without stopping is not allowed - sign B-20 requires you to stop regardless of which way you are going and whether you can see other vehicles. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals provides that sign B-20 means no entry into the junction without stopping before the priority road and an obligation to give way to drivers travelling on that road; the stop takes place at the marked place or, if there is none, where you can see the priority road. Stopping means bringing the car to a complete standstill, not just slowing down. Only after stopping and checking that nobody is coming from the left do you turn right, also remembering the pedestrians on the pavement.
Legal basis: § 21 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
