Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you have stopped in the left-turn lane before a pedestrian crossing; directional traffic lights S-3 show a red arrow, and give-way line P-14 is painted before the crossing. You stopped a few metres before this line, not right before it - this is not the correct place. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that a red signal means that you must not drive past the traffic lights, and line P-14 shows the place to stop the vehicle before a pedestrian crossing. So you stop just before the line: this way you are easy to see, more vehicles fit behind you, and the crossing stays clear. Stopping in the middle of the lane confuses the drivers behind you and blocks the junction.
Legal basis: § 89 para. 3 point 2 and § 97 para. 2 in conjunction with § 95 para. 1 point 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
