You plan to turn left and the driver of the oncoming vehicle intends to follow the road ahead. Have you got priority over them?

Show the correct answer

Correct answer

NO

Explanation

Before the junction, on your side, there is sign B-20 "STOP" with plate T-6c, on which a thick line runs across - the priority road crosses your street. So you are on a minor road. A red car is coming straight on from the opposite direction, and you want to turn left, which means crossing its path. A driver turning left gives way to a vehicle coming straight on from the opposite direction, so you do not have right of way over it. The answer is: no.

The Road Traffic Act says that a driver turning left gives way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and going straight on or turning right. This rule applies regardless of the signs, which here also tell you to stop and let everyone travelling on the intersecting road go first. In practice: you stop before the junction with your left indicator on and move off when the main road and the opposite lane are clear.

Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 21 para. 1 and 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
