Correct answer
NO
Explanation
The person supervising the crossing of children is standing on the pedestrian crossing and holding up a yellow disc with a STOP sign. This signal means you must stop the vehicle, and it applies to every driver approaching the crossing - regardless of whether they want to go straight on or turn. When turning right, you also have to drive over this crossing, so you must not move off while the disc is up.
The legal basis is the rule under which a person supervising the safe crossing of children over the roadway may give signals to road users, and gives the stop signal by raising a square yellow disc with sign B-20. Signals from persons authorised to direct traffic are more important than signs and traffic light signals, so even if the road to the right seems clear, you wait for the disc to be lowered.
Legal basis: Art. 5 para. 1 and 2 and Art. 6 para. 1 point 6 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 109 para. 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
