Do the visible horizontal signs in the form of arrows on the roadway, impose driving solely in the indicated direction from the traffic lanes on which they are currently driving?

Description

Art. 5 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (consolidated text: Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) in conjunction with § 87 para. 1 pts 1 and 2 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, the directional arrows painted on the lane (P-8 horizontal markings) are binding for the driver and are mandatory. A driver occupying a lane with such an arrow must travel in the direction it indicates. In the situation shown in the video, you can go straight ahead or turn right from the right lane, and only straight ahead from the other lanes.
