Can you pass the stationary obstacle by using the part of the road intended only for the oncoming vehicles?

Description

Art. 3 para. 1, Art. 23 para. 1 pt. 2) of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

The road service vehicle visible in the recording constitutes a stationary obstacle that completely blocks your lane. In such a situation, you have the right to pass this vehicle by entering the part of the roadway intended for oncoming traffic, provided you exercise special care and maintain a safe distance, as stated in Art. 23 para. 1 pt. 2 of the Road Traffic Act. This manoeuvre is permitted because failing to do so would prevent further travel, and the markings on the vehicle indicate the side on which to pass.
