Do the visible road markings in the right lane indicate the start of an exit from the motorway?

Do the visible road markings in the right lane indicate the start of an exit from the motorway?

Description

§ 87 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws of 2002, No. 170, item 1393, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

The sign visible on the roadway is P-9a 'deflection arrow', which according to § 87 para. 3 signifies a requirement to enter the adjacent lane indicated by the arrow (in this case, to the left). This marking is usually applied on an ending acceleration lane to allow smooth entry into the main traffic flow. It does not mark the start of a motorway exit, which would involve leaving the main roadway rather than entering it.
