Question 645 in the bank

How should you continue driving according to the following marking?

Grey road seen from above: along it a solid white double line, and below it an arrow pointing right. Above the double line is a dashed line and a diagonal dashed line joining it. On the right is a combined arrow pointing left that curves downward. On the left side, about a quarter of the road's width, is an arrow pointing left above the dashed line and a curving arrow pointing down beneath it. Meaning: You are permitted to drive straight (ahead) or left.
  1. Correct answer: You are permitted to drive straight (ahead) or left.
  2. You are permitted to drive left only.
  3. You are permitted to turn left from all lanes.
  4. You are permitted to drive right only.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: You are permitted to drive straight (ahead) or left.

The combined arrow before the lanes split shows that from this lane you may continue straight ahead or turn left. After the split each lane has its own arrow, so choose in advance the lane that suits the direction you want. Turning left is not permitted from every lane, only from a lane whose arrow allows it.
