In this situation, must the driver move into the right lane and only then turn right?
Answer options
Explanation
No — the marking of this very lane permits a right turn. The general rule is that before turning right you must move in advance to the extreme right of the carriageway, but it has an important exception: wherever markings or signs set a different arrangement for the lanes, the marking governs. Here the arrow painted on the asphalt in front of the purple car has two branches, one straight and one to the right, so from this lane you may go straight or turn right and no lane change is needed. The exception exists precisely to prevent the last-second squeezing into the right lane a few metres before the intersection, which is what causes side impacts and collisions with motorcycles and cyclists in the blind spot.
