Do you have to yield the right of way to the vehicle approaching from the left in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street with a double solid line in the middle, you pass a pedestrian crossing with sign D-6 and approach a T-shaped junction, before which there is sign A-7 "give way" on the right; on the other side of the intersecting road you can see a car park and a building with a snack bar, and a silver car is coming along the intersecting road from the left. Sign A-7 requires you to give way to vehicles on the intersecting road, including the one from the left. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-7 "give way" warns of a junction with a priority road and means that you must give way to drivers travelling along that road, and the Road Traffic Act requires you to obey road signs and to exercise particular caution when approaching a junction. Since you are the one on the minor road, the right-hand rule does not apply here - you give way to all vehicles travelling along the intersecting road, from both sides. You slow down, stop before the junction if necessary, and move off only when the silver car has passed and nothing is coming from the right.
Legal basis: § 5 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 1 and Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
