Does this sign indicate that, after turning left at the intersection, you will continue moving on the major road?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a road that curves off to the left; on the right there is sign D-1 "priority road" with plate T-6a, on which the thick line bends to the left, and a thin line branches off to the side as a minor road. The plate shows that after turning left you will still be driving along the priority road. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-1 means the start or continuation of a priority road, and plate T-6a placed under it shows the actual course of the priority road through the junction. The thick line on the plate is always the priority road, and the thin lines are the minor roads. When turning left along the thick line, you keep right of way over vehicles from the minor roads, but the Road Traffic Act requires you to signal this turn with the indicator, because you are changing direction, even if the main road leads exactly that way.
Legal basis: § 43 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 22 para. 5 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
