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 approaching a small roundabout with a cobbled island in the middle; on the right there are signs A-7 "give way" and C-12 "roundabout", there is a give-way line P-13 on the roadway, and a navy blue car is coming around the roundabout from the left. You are required to give way to vehicles driving around the roundabout, that is, those approaching from the left. 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. Line P-13, made up of triangles, shows the place to stop in order to give way as required by sign A-7. 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, § 5 para. 5 and § 89 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
