Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are approaching a junction in a town; before it, on the right, there is sign B-20 "STOP", and the traffic lights under it show green. In this situation you are allowed to enter the junction without stopping. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act states that light signals take precedence over road signs that regulate priority, and the Regulation on road signs and signals states that the green signal means permission to drive past the traffic lights. Sign B-20 requires you to stop only when the traffic lights are switched off or show flashing amber. With a working green light, stopping would actually be dangerous for those driving behind you. You drive through smoothly, but you still watch the side entries, because the green light does not protect you from someone who drives in on red.
Legal basis: Art. 5 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 21 para. 1 and § 95 para. 1 point 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
