Correct answer

NO

Explanation

In the photo you are driving in winter along a snowy street in a town and approaching a junction; on the right there is sign D-1 "priority road" with plate T-6a, on which the thick line of the priority road turns left, and thin lines lead straight on and to the right; further on you can see sign D-6. When turning right, you do not have to give way to vehicles on the left - you are on their right, so they give way to you. The answer is: no.

The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-1 marks the start or continuation of a priority road, and plate T-6a shows the actual course of this road through the junction; the thick line is the main road, the thin lines are minor roads. Vehicles on the left are travelling along the same priority road as you, so the general rules apply between you: the Road Traffic Act says you must give way to a vehicle coming from the right, and it is you who are on the right. When turning right, you leave the main road along the right edge, so you do not cross the path of vehicles from the left. However, the Act requires you to signal the turn and exercise particular caution - on a slippery surface you watch whether the driver on the left really gives way to you.

Legal basis: § 43 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1, Art. 22 para. 2 point 1 and para. 5 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
