If you turn right, do you have the right of way over a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction?

Description

Art. 5 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137) § 5 para. 5 and 7 in conjunction with § 1 para. 2 and § 2 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws of 2002, No. 170, item 1393, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

In this situation, the A-7 'yield' sign visible on the right is accompanied by the T-6 plate, which shows the actual course of the priority road. The diagram on the plate shows that the priority road (thick line) comes from the opposite direction and turns left, which means that the vehicle approaching from the opposite direction is on the privileged road. According to Art. 5 para. 1 and the regulations regarding signs, you are obliged to yield to a vehicle entering the intersection from the priority road, even if you are turning right.
