You intend to continue driving to the left at the nearest intersection. In this situation, are you obliged to yield priority to vehicles approaching from the opposite direction?

Description

Art. 25 para. 1 and art. 5 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws 2012, item 1137, as amended) in conjunction with § 43 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and 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 D-1 'priority road' sign visible on the right along with the T-6a plate indicates that the priority road runs through the intersection to the left (marked with a thick line). This means that vehicles approaching from the opposite direction are on a minor road (thin line) and must yield the right of way to you. In this situation, when turning left, you are not obliged to yield to vehicles from the opposite direction.
