Is the driver of the vehicle in the right lane obliged to allow you change lanes after driving past this sign?

Description

Art. 22 para. 4a - Road Traffic Act

Explanation

Correct answer: No

The visible sign D-14 informs that the right lane ends in 200 metres, meaning that drivers in the right lane will have to change to your (left) lane. According to the rules of zipper merging specified in Art. 22 para. 4a, in conditions of significant speed reduction, the driver moving in the continuing lane is obliged to allow a vehicle from the ending lane to merge. In this situation, the obligation lies with you, not with the driver in the right lane.
