Does this signal permit you to turn right at a crossroads?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, we are approaching a junction with a pedestrian crossing; there are traffic lights on a post on the right, with sign D-1 "priority road" above them, and a second set of traffic lights hangs above the roadway. Both sets of traffic lights are showing a green signal. This signal allows you to turn right at the junction - the answer is YES.
A green signal shown by traffic lights S-1 means permission to go beyond the traffic lights in all directions allowed by the signs and road markings - including to the right. Before turning, you move close to the right edge of the roadway and switch on the indicator. When turning, you give way to pedestrians crossing the roadway you are entering and to cyclists going straight on - when you have a green light, their crossing often has green too. A green signal does not allow you to enter if you would make it difficult for pedestrians to leave the roadway or if you could not leave the junction. On a moped, when turning, watch out for the painted stripes of the crossing, which can be slippery.
