On approaching an intersection regulated by this signage, do you have the right of way if you intend to continue straight ahead?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Vertical sign R-3 (Priority road) tells drivers traveling on that roadway that they have priority at intersections over vehicles traveling on another roadway or coming from it. When it is accompanied by a supplementary priority route panel (S-850 to S-853), the thick line on the panel shows exactly the route that keeps that priority (in this case, turning right). If the driver decides to continue straight ahead, they leave the priority route and therefore do not have the right of way at the intersection. Thinking that the sign grants priority in any direction is incorrect, because priority is kept only on the route marked by the panel. The idea that you have it only when towing a trailer is a baseless distractor: towing a trailer with a moped does not change the right-of-way rules.
