Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On narrow stretches where two vehicles cannot cross at the same time, right of way is governed first by the existing signage. The R-6 sign (square, with a blue background and a white arrow in the direction of travel) gives priority to the vehicle that encounters it over vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Therefore, the bus has the right of way and the truck must yield to it, reversing if necessary to clear the way. Sign R-5, “Priority to oncoming traffic,” prohibits entry into the narrowing if it cannot be crossed without forcing oncoming vehicles to stop. The criterion of the shorter reversing distance or the hierarchical order by type of vehicle comes into play only in the absence of signs.
