In the presented situation, is it mandatory to stop before entering this intersection?
Description
Art. 5 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) in conjunction with § 5 para. 5 and § 36 para. 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: No
The A-7 'Give way' sign visible before the roundabout obliges you to give way to vehicles already on the junction. However, it does not impose an absolute obligation to stop the vehicle. Stopping is only necessary when the traffic situation requires it, e.g., when another vehicle is moving on the roundabout. An absolute obligation to stop is mandated by the B-20 'STOP' sign.
