In this situation, can you enter the intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are approaching a junction in fog, with a pedestrian crossing marked with sign D-6; the traffic lights above and next to the roadway show green, and the car in front of you drives smoothly through the junction. In this situation you are allowed to enter the junction. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that a green signal means permission to enter beyond the traffic lights, but it does not allow you to enter if your vehicle would make it difficult for pedestrians or cyclists to leave the roadway, or if, because of the conditions at the junction or beyond it, you could not leave the junction before the end of the green light. Here the crossing is empty and there is space beyond the junction, so you go. A green light does not release you from paying attention - in fog you watch the intersecting roads, because someone may enter on red.
Legal basis: § 95 para. 1 point 1 and para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
