Are you allowed to change to the left lane in this place?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are approaching, in a lane with a straight-on arrow, a junction with traffic lights; the left lane has a combined straight-on and left arrow, and the lanes are separated by a single solid line P-2. At this place you must not change to the left lane. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that marking P-2 "single solid line" separates lanes for the same direction and means a ban on crossing this line and driving onto it. A solid line between lanes is painted before junctions so that drivers do not change lanes at the last moment, when the arrows are already painted and cars are lined up by direction. You should have chosen your lane earlier, where the line was broken. Since you are in the lane for going straight on, you go straight on and find another route to your destination, instead of breaking the rules and forcing your way into the left lane.
Legal basis: § 86 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 22 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
