AMDifficulty 1/5

You approach a junction signed P-1a, “Priority over a road on the right”. With no higher-priority instruction, what does that sign mean?

Correct answer

You have priority over the right-hand road while still acting cautiously.

Road users approaching from the right-hand road must give way. Adapt speed and check that crossing is safe: priority does not require continuing into danger or remove collision-avoidance duties. Stop if needed to avoid a crash or obey a higher-priority instruction. This is not P-2 for right-hand priority.
