In this situation, is the driver of the vehicle travelling in the right lane obliged to allow you change lanes?
Description
Art. 22 para. 4a - Road Traffic Act
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
In the visible situation, there is a significant reduction in speed (congestion) and the disappearing of the lane you are travelling in. In such conditions, the principle of 'zipper merging' applies. According to Art. 22 para. 4a of the Road Traffic Act, the driver in the adjacent lane is obliged to allow you to change lanes directly before the point where the lane ends.
