Are you obliged in this situation to give way to the tram whose driver signals the intention to turn left?
Description
Art. 5 and Art. 25 para. 1 and 2 of the Act of 20 June 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) and § 95 para. 1 pt. 1 and para. 4 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and 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: No
At the visible intersection, traffic is regulated by traffic lights, and a green S-1 signal is displayed for your lane. According to the hierarchy of importance defined in Art. 5 of the Act, traffic signals take precedence over general regulations. In this situation, the specific provision of § 95 para. 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals applies, which states that a tram turning at an intersection with traffic lights must yield to road users traveling straight ahead. Therefore, you have the right of way.
