In this situation, if you intend to turn left, can you go past the traffic lights?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
At the junction, the traffic lights above your left lane, repeated on the post on the left, are showing red. The green light is on only on the traffic lights above the right lane and applies only to those driving in that lane. The white signal on the post under the red light is a traffic light for trams - you can see the tram overhead contact line above the roadway - and it does not apply to the driver of a car. There is no signal permitting you to drive on from your lane, so if you intend to turn left, you cannot drive past the traffic lights.
The red signal means that driving past the traffic lights is prohibited, and a signal placed above a lane applies only to drivers in that lane. White signals in the shape of bars and arrows are intended for trams and do not replace the signals for other vehicles. You stop before the stop line and wait until the green light comes on above your lane.
