In this situation, do you have priority over the vehicle on the left side?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a residential street among trees and approaching a junction; before it, on the right, there is sign A-7 "give way"; a green lorry is approaching from the left along the intersecting road, and there is a pedestrian crossing at the junction. You do not have right of way over the vehicle on the left - it is you who must give way to it. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-7 "give way" warns of a junction with a priority road, and a minor road is a road on which the driver must give way to those travelling on the main road; the Road Traffic Act requires you to obey road signs. The right-hand rule, under which the vehicle on the left would give way to you, applies only at uncontrolled junctions of equal roads - sign A-7 cancels it and requires you to give way to all vehicles on the intersecting road, no matter which side they come from. A lorry brakes slowly, so you slow down in good time, stop before the junction if necessary and move off only after it has passed, still checking the right side.
Legal basis: § 5 para. 5 and § 1 para. 2 point 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
