In this situation, can you continue driving in the left lane if the right lane is free?

Description

Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and Internal Affairs and Administration of July 31, 2002 on road signs and signals. (Journal of Laws 2002 No. 170 item 1393, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

In this situation, horizontal markings P-8 (directional arrows) are visible on the roadway, which strictly define the permitted driving directions from individual lanes. The right lane is marked with an arrow indicating a right turn, which means you cannot drive straight from it. Therefore, if you intend to continue straight, you have the right and obligation to occupy the left lane, even though the right lane is free.
