In the visible situation, is it necessary to turn on the direction indicators to signal change of traffic lane?

Description

Art. 22 para. 5 and art. 3 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 and 1448)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, in this situation a lane change is necessary because the right lane you are travelling in is ending, as indicated by the road markings (lane direction arrows). According to Art. 22 para. 5 of the Road Traffic Act, any intention to change lanes must be signalled sufficiently early and clearly. Activating the left indicator is mandatory in this case and crucial for safety.
