Will a signal be displayed in a moment prohibiting entry?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo a police officer directing traffic is standing beyond the crossing, sideways to you, and raising his arm vertically upwards. Until now, the sideways position meant that traffic was open for you; the raised arm announces that he will soon change the signal and prohibit entry. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that when the person directing traffic raises their arm upwards, this means that the signal being given is about to change: for those for whom traffic was closed, it announces permission to enter, and for those for whom it was open - a signal prohibiting entry. It is the equivalent of the amber light. If you can stop safely, you stop before the crossing; you enter only if braking would have to be sudden.
Legal basis: § 108 para. 2 and 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
