Does the arrow signal displayed indicate that the traffic may turn left without conflict with other road users?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, you have stopped in front of a junction in the left-turn lane; the directional traffic lights S-3 change from a red arrow, through red with amber, to a green arrow to the left. Such a signal means that when driving to the left, there is no conflict with other road users. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that the signals of the directional traffic lights S-3 apply to those driving in the direction shown by the arrow, and the green signal of these traffic lights means that when driving in the direction shown, there is no conflict with other road users: vehicles from the opposite direction and pedestrians on the crossing that you turn across have a stop signal at that time. You turn without stopping in the middle of the junction, but you watch that no one is entering on red.
Legal basis: § 97 para. 1 and 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
