Question 438 in the bank

Is there any reference in the following road sign to the giving of right-of-way?

A red-bordered white triangle with a thick black band slanting up from the lower left, joining a thinner black vertical line on the right. Meaning: Yes. You should give right-of-way to vehicle traffic on the road ahead.
  1. No. Only instruction signs refer to the giving of right-of-way.
  2. No. The sign belongs to the instruction signs group and is not, as far as right-of-way rules are concerned, obligatory.
  3. Correct answer: Yes. You should give right-of-way to vehicle traffic on the road ahead.
  4. No. This is a warning sign which doesn’t come to replace any right-of-way sign.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes. You should give right-of-way to vehicle traffic on the road ahead.

The sign shows that the road you are driving on merges with another road ahead. Although it is a warning sign, its meaning includes a duty to give right-of-way to vehicles on the road you are joining. So it is wrong to think that only instruction signs determine right-of-way. Slow down, merge carefully and do not disturb the traffic on the other road.
