Are you allowed in this situation to turn right if you do not impede other drivers' movement?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, behind the pedestrian crossing, there is a police officer directing traffic, facing you, with his arms held out horizontally to the sides. This means that entering the junction is prohibited, and this also covers a right turn - even if you do not obstruct anyone, you must not turn. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that when the person directing traffic faces the approaching vehicles or has his back to them, this means that entering the junction is prohibited, and an arm held out horizontally, across the direction of travel, means the same. A conditional right turn exists only with the green filter arrow of traffic lights S-2, not with the signals of a police officer. You stop before the crossing and wait for the position to change.
Legal basis: § 108 para. 3 and 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
