If you see such a stance of the traffic control police officer, can you go straight through the intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, you can see a police officer directing traffic, who is standing side-on to us, with one arm stretched out horizontally. When you see this position, you may go straight on through the junction - the answer is YES.
A position side-on to approaching vehicles means permission to enter the junction. The outstretched arm concerns drivers who see the police officer from the front or from the back - for them, traffic is stopped. This ban does not apply to you, so you may go straight on. The signals of a police officer take priority over traffic lights and signs. You watch the officer the whole time, because the officer may change the signal at any moment, for example by raising an arm upwards.
Legal basis: § 108 para. 2-3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
