If you intend to turn right in this situation, should you continue further on the lane you are occupying and change it immediately before the junction?

Description

Legal basis: Art. 22 para. 2 pt. 1 of the Road Traffic Act and principles of driving tactics affecting the safety and flow of road traffic

Explanation

Correct answer: No

No. Both the horizontal markings (directional arrows on the carriageway) and the F-10 'Directions on lanes' sign visible on the right indicate that only the far-right lane is for turning right. According to Art. 22 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, you must occupy the correct lane sufficiently in advance, not immediately before the junction, as this is dangerous and obstructs traffic.
