Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching a pedestrian crossing and a junction with traffic lights; the traffic lights show an amber signal. After amber, red will come on. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that the amber signal means a ban on going beyond the traffic lights, unless at the moment it comes on the vehicle is so close that it cannot be stopped without sharp braking; this signal also means that the red signal will come on in a moment. The order of the signals is fixed: green, amber, red, red with amber, green. Amber is not an invitation to speed up - if you can stop smoothly before the line or the crossing, you stop.
Legal basis: § 95 para. 1 point 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
