When driving at the speed of 50 km/h should you slow down while approaching the closest junction when the situation on the right hand side of the road is not adequately visible?

Description

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 § 5 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. The warning sign A-5 "Crossroads" warns of an approaching junction of roads of equal priority, where the priority-to-the-right rule applies. This means you must give way to vehicles approaching from your right. Since visibility to the right is insufficient, you must reduce your speed to be able to spot another vehicle in time and stop safely.
