In the presented situation, does the illuminated light prohibit drivers going straight from driving beyond the traffic lights?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
On the traffic lights on the right, the red light is on, and next to it a green arrow to the right. The green arrow is a conditional signal only for those turning right - after stopping and giving way. For drivers going straight on, only the red signal counts, and it prohibits going beyond the traffic lights.
The Regulation on road signs and signals says that a red signal shown by the S-2 traffic lights together with the green filter arrow means that turning in the direction shown by the arrow into the nearest roadway is allowed, on condition that you stop before the traffic lights and do not obstruct traffic. Anyone who wants to go straight on waits for green, as at any red light.
Legal basis: § 95 para. 1 point 3 and § 96 para. 1 and 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
