In this situation, having changed the traffic lane, are you required to switch off the direction-indicator immediately?

Description

Art. 22 para. 5 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, consolidated text as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, the indicator must be switched off immediately after completing the manoeuvre, in this case after changing lanes. This obligation arises from Art. 22 para. 5 of the Road Traffic Act, which requires you to stop signalling immediately after the manoeuvre is completed. Leaving the indicator on would mislead other drivers about your further intentions on the road.
