In this situation, do you have the right of way over the vehicle approaching from the opposite direction?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a suburban road, and before a narrowing of the roadway there are signs A-12a "road narrowing - on both sides" and D-5 "priority over oncoming traffic on a narrow section" - a blue square with a white arrow pointing up and a red one pointing down. Sign D-5 gives you right of way over the vehicle coming from the opposite direction. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals provides that sign D-5 "priority over oncoming traffic on a narrow section" means that road users go through the narrow section, driving or on foot, before drivers approaching from the opposite direction; on the other side of the narrowing there is then sign B-31, which prohibits entering the narrow section if this would force those coming from the opposite direction to stop. So you have right of way, but you exercise caution - if a car from the opposite direction has already entered the narrowing, you do not force your way through, but wait until it has left it.
Legal basis: § 46 and § 25 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 3 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
