In this situation, does the light displayed allow you to drive beyond the traffic light post if you do not cause impediments to traffic for oncoming vehicles?

Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo there are temporary traffic lights at roadworks, showing a red light. A red signal means an absolute ban on driving beyond the traffic lights - there is no condition "if you do not obstruct traffic" here. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that a red signal shown by traffic lights S-1 means a ban on driving beyond the traffic lights. The condition of not obstructing traffic concerns other situations, for example the green filter arrow (S-2) after stopping. At roadworks, the traffic lights control alternating traffic in a single lane: driving through on red means driving straight into vehicles coming from the opposite direction. You stop before the traffic lights and wait for green.
Legal basis: § 95 para. 1 point 3 and § 99 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
