Does this traffic light indicate that there is no collision with other traffic users when turning left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are approaching a junction in town with a pedestrian crossing; traffic lights S-1 at the right edge show a green light in the form of a full circle. Such a signal does not mean that there is no collision with other road users when turning left - only the green arrow of directional traffic lights S-3 guarantees that there is no collision. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that the green signal of traffic lights S-1 means permission to drive beyond the traffic lights, whereas the green signal shown by directional traffic lights S-3 means that when driving in the direction shown there is no collision with other road users. On a general green light, a driver turning left gives way to vehicles coming from the opposite direction and going straight on or turning right, and to pedestrians on the crossing he or she is turning across. You enter the junction, stop with the wheels straight and turn only when the way is clear.
Legal basis: § 95 para. 1 point 1 and § 97 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 26 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
