Are you merging into traffic when exiting a public road into a car park??

Description

Act of 20 June 1997, The Road Traffic Law. (Journal of Laws 1997, No. 98, item 602, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

No, turning off a public road into a car park is not considered 'joining traffic'. According to Art. 17 of the Road Traffic Act, joining traffic occurs when starting to drive or when entering a road from, for example, an adjacent property. In this situation, you are performing the opposite manoeuvre – you are leaving the road, having already been a participant in traffic.
