In this situation, are you allowed to turn left from the traffic lane you are in?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving in the right lane of a street where a line of cars stretches along the left lane; before the junction, on the right, there is sign F-10, according to which you turn left from the left lane and right from the right lane. So you are not allowed to turn left from the right lane you are in. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals provides that sign F-10 "lane directions", placed beside the roadway, shows the permitted directions from the individual lanes, according to the arrows, and the Road Traffic Act requires a driver who intends to turn left to move close to the centre of the roadway. A left turn from the right lane would cut across the path of vehicles in the left lane, which have the right to turn left. If you want to go left, you must change to the left lane in good time, with your indicator, giving way to those driving in it, and when there is no space - turn right and make a U-turn further on.
Legal basis: § 72 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 22 para. 2 point 2 and para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
