Do you have the right of way over the vehicle approaching from the right in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
Before the junction you pass sign D-1 "priority road". It means that you are driving along a priority road, and the intersecting roads joining it are minor roads. The vehicle approaching from the right must give way to you, so at this junction you have right of way over it.
The right-hand rule from the Road Traffic Act applies only where right of way is not determined by signs or signals. Sign D-1 means the start or continuation of a priority road, and the Regulation on road signs and signals defines it as a road on which a driver approaching a junction has right of way over drivers approaching along a minor road. However, right of way does not free you from watching: when approaching the junction, you still exercise particular caution.
Legal basis: § 43 para. 1 and § 1 para. 2 point 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
