In this situation, are you obliged to give the right of way to the 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: Yes

In the situation shown, on the right side there is an A-7 'yield' sign along with a T-6c plate, which indicates the actual course of the priority road. The thick line on the plate informs that the priority road runs from the opposite direction and turns left. This means that the vehicle approaching from the opposite direction is on the priority road, and you are on a subordinate road, so you are obliged to yield to it.
