In this situation, are you approaching a crossroads, where the right of way is determined by road signs?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a residential street among detached houses and fences, you pass a pedestrian crossing and, on the right, warning sign A-5 "crossroads" with a cross symbol. You are not approaching a junction where right of way is set by signs - sign A-5 warns precisely of an uncontrolled junction of equal roads. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-5 "crossroads" warns of a junction where right of way is not determined by signs; at such a place the rule from the Road Traffic Act applies, under which a driver approaching a junction must give way to a vehicle coming from the right, and when turning left - also to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and going straight on or turning right. Sign A-5 is a signal that you cannot assume you are on the main road, as you could on a road marked with sign D-1. You slow down, look to the right, where a vehicle with right of way may appear, and only drive through when nobody is coming from there; you also remember that overtaking is not allowed at an uncontrolled junction of equal roads.
Legal basis: § 5 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
