If you see such a posture of the traffic control police officer, are you allowed to enter the intersection with the intention of turning right?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, you can see a police officer directing traffic, who is standing facing us, with the left arm stretched out horizontally - to the right from our point of view. When you see this position, you do not have the right to enter the junction intending to turn right - the answer is NO.
A position in which the person directing traffic faces approaching vehicles means no entry into the junction. The ban applies to every direction of travel, including a right turn - the outstretched arm does not change this. The signals of a person directing traffic take priority over traffic lights and signs. You stop the tram before the junction and watch the police officer, because the officer will give permission to enter by standing side-on to you.
Legal basis: § 108 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
