Are you allowed to turn left at the nearest intersection from the traffic lane you are in?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving in the left lane of a priority road (sign D-1), right next to the barrier of the central reservation; sign F-10 placed beside the road shows four lanes: three for going straight on and the far right one only for turning right. You are not allowed to turn left at the nearest junction from the lane you are in - no arrow on the sign leads to the left. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals provides that sign F-10, placed beside the roadway, shows the permitted directions from the individual lanes, according to the arrows; the Road Traffic Act also requires a driver who intends to turn left to move close to the centre of the roadway. Since the arrows on the sign do not allow a left turn, at this junction it is excluded from every lane; from the left lane in which you are driving you may only go straight on, and you turn right only from the far right lane. You plan your route to the left through another junction.
Legal basis: § 72 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 22 para. 2 point 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
