Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street in the old part of town on a priority road (sign D-1) and you intend to turn left at a junction with a pedestrian crossing; a car is coming from the left, from a minor road. You have right of way over it. 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 drivers on the intersecting road have sign A-7 or B-20 and must give way to you; the Road Traffic Act requires you to obey road signs. The rule of giving way when turning left concerns vehicles coming from the opposite direction, not vehicles from a minor road at the side. However, you exercise particular caution - you switch on the indicator, watch whether the driver on the left is really stopping, and give way to pedestrians on the crossing you are turning across.
Legal basis: § 43 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 1, Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 26 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
