Do you have to yield the right of way to vehicles approaching from the left in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are approaching a roundabout marked with signs A-7 "give way" and C-12 "roundabout"; a blue car is coming around the roundabout from the left. You are required to give way to vehicles approaching from the left, that is, those already driving around the roundabout. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign C-12 means that at the junction traffic moves around the island in the direction shown on the sign, and sign C-12 together with sign A-7 means that a driver already within the junction has right of way over a driver entering the junction. On a roundabout with right-hand traffic, circulating vehicles always approach from the left, so before entering you look left, slow down and enter only when you will not force anyone on the roundabout to brake.
Legal basis: § 36 para. 1 and 2 and § 5 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
