In this situation, does the vehicle coming from the right have the right of way at the nearest intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street in a town with parked cars on the right; before the junction on the right there is sign D-1 "priority road". At the nearest junction a vehicle coming from the right does not have right of way. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-1 marks the beginning or continuation of a priority road; the roads joining it are minor roads, and their drivers, warned by sign A-7 or B-20, must give way. The rule in the Road Traffic Act that you give way to a vehicle coming from the right applies only when signs do not set right of way differently - and here they do. So the vehicle from the right must wait until you have passed. Remember that if you were turning left, you would have to give way to vehicles coming from the opposite direction going straight on or turning right, because they are also on the priority road. The parked cars limit visibility of the side road entrance on the right, so when approaching the junction you exercise particular caution and watch whether anyone is pulling out without stopping.
Legal basis: § 43 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
