You intend to turn left. Do you have to yield the right of way to the vehicles coming from the opposite direction?

Description

Art. 5 para. 1 and art. 25 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) and § 95 para. 1 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: Yes

Yes. According to Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver intending to turn left must give way to a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction and proceeding straight ahead or turning right. The visible S-1 signal (green light) permits entry to the intersection but does not exempt the driver from the obligation to give way.
