After the light turns green, can you turn left from this lane?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are waiting in the left lane with a left-turn arrow before a junction with traffic lights; sign F-11 with a left arrow hangs above your lane, and the traffic lights above your lane show red. After the green light comes on, you are allowed to turn left from this lane. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign F-11 above a lane shows the permitted directions of travel from that lane, the lane direction arrow on the roadway means the same, and the green signal permits you to drive past the traffic lights. On red you wait before the stop line, and red with amber, which comes before green, does not yet allow you to move off. On green you turn left, remembering that ordinary traffic lights S-1 do not guarantee that there is no conflicting traffic - you give way to oncoming vehicles going straight on and turning right and to pedestrians on the crossing after the turn.
Legal basis: § 72 para. 2, § 87 para. 1 and § 95 para. 1 point 1 and 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
