In this situation, seeing this horizontal sign in the form of triangles, are you obliged each time to stop before entering a road with priority?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a minor road and approaching a junction with a priority road; give-way line P-13, made up of triangles, is painted on the roadway before the junction, and a red car is driving across the junction. When you see this line, you do not have to stop every time - the triangles only show the place where you will stop if this is necessary in order to give way. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that marking P-13 "give-way line made up of triangles" shows the place where a vehicle stops in order to give way as required by vertical sign A-7; a mandatory stop, on the other hand, is required by the solid line P-12, which goes with sign B-20 "STOP". Giving way means not moving if this could force another driver to change direction or lane or to change speed significantly - if the priority road is empty, you drive across without stopping. You slow down, look both ways, and when a vehicle is coming, like this red car, you stop before the triangles and move off when it has passed.
Legal basis: § 89 para. 1 and 2 and § 5 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 2 point 23 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
