In conditions of a significant reduction in speed on the roadway, will the driver of Vehicle 4 drive ahead of the driver of Vehicle 2?

Description

Art. 22. para. 4b of the Act of 20.06.1997 Road Traffic Act, i.e. Journal of Laws of 2020, item 110.
Explanation

Correct answer: No

In conditions of significantly reduced speed, when a lane ends, the zip-merging principle applies. According to Art. 22 para. 4a of the Road Traffic Act, the driver of vehicle no. 4 (in the continuing lane) is obliged to allow one vehicle from the ending lane (vehicle no. 2) to change lanes. Consequently, vehicle no. 2 has priority and passes before vehicle no. 4.
