Does the traffic light displayed in this situation denote that when turning right there is no collision with other road users?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
The traffic lights on the pole on the right are directional traffic lights: only a green arrow pointing right is lit, and the other sections are dark. This is not a red light with an arrow - that would require stopping. A green signal on directional traffic lights guarantees that during this time nobody else has green on your path to the right, so driving in this direction is free of collisions.
The Regulation on road signs and signals says directly that a green signal shown by directional traffic lights S-3 means there is no collision with other road users when driving in the direction shown. This means that pedestrians and cyclists on the crossing on the right should have a red signal at this time. Even so, it is worth watching the crossing, because the rule does not release you from caution if someone steps onto it on red.
Legal basis: § 97 para. 1 and 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
