You intend to drive straight on through the intersection. Do you have priority over other traffic users in this situation?

Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving along a street in a town behind a red car and approaching a junction; before it, on the right, there is sign A-7 "give way" with plate T-6c showing the course of the priority road through this junction; cars are travelling along the intersecting road, and a pedestrian is crossing the roadway at the junction. When you intend to go straight on, you do not have right of way over other road users - you are on a minor road. 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 plate T-6c placed under it shows the actual course of the priority road through the junction: the thick line is the main road, the thin lines are minor roads, including yours. Going straight on does not change anything here - you are crossing the priority road, so you give way to vehicles travelling along it from both sides, and you do not cut across the path of the pedestrian crossing the roadway just in front of you. You slow down, watch the intersecting road in both directions, stop if someone is coming, and drive through when you will not force anyone to change speed.
Legal basis: § 5 para. 5 and 7 and § 1 para. 2 point 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 2 point 23 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
