Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are approaching a junction in town where traffic lights S-2 show a red light together with a green arrow to the right; cars and a tram are crossing the junction from the left. The green arrow allows you to turn right, but only after stopping before the traffic lights - you must not turn without stopping. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that a red signal shown by traffic lights S-2 together with a signal in the shape of a green arrow means that turning in the direction shown by the arrow into the nearest roadway at the junction is allowed, on condition that the driver stops before the traffic lights and does not obstruct other road users. Stopping is always required, even when the road looks empty. After stopping, you let through vehicles coming from the left and pedestrians on the crossing you are turning across, and only then do you move off.
Legal basis: § 96 para. 1 and 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
