Description

Art. 3 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - The Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) in conjunction with § 86 para. 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: After entering the start of the exit lane (exit).

You should only start braking after entering the deceleration lane (exit lane). Slowing down on the main carriageways of a motorway is very dangerous, as it creates the risk of a rear-end collision from vehicles travelling at high speed. Deceleration lanes are specifically designed for safely reducing speed.
