You intend to change the lane. Are you obliged to use an indicator?

Description

Art. 22 para. 5 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) in conjunction with § 87 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, in this situation you are obliged to use your indicator. The horizontal P-9 marking 'lane direction arrow' visible on the roadway, combined with the P-1c warning broken line, indicates that the lane is ending and requires you to change it. According to Art. 22 para. 5 of the Road Traffic Act, any intention to change lanes must be signalled in advance and clearly. This obligation also applies to manoeuvres forced by the traffic organisation.
