You intend to turn left. Do you have the right of way over the vehicle approaching from the left?

Description

Art. 5 para. 1 of the Act of June 20, 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) and § 1 para. 2 point 1, § 43 para. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and Internal Affairs and Administration of July 31, 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Before the intersection, the D-1 "priority road" sign is visible with the T-6a plaque, which indicates that the priority road runs straight ahead (thick line). This means that the vehicle approaching from the left is on a subordinate road (thin line). In this situation, you have priority over it, according to the hierarchy of road signs specified in Art. 5 of the Road Traffic Act.
