Does the light signal being displayed allow you to go beyond the traffic lights in this situation?

Correct answer
NO
Explanation
The traffic lights before the pedestrian crossing are showing red and amber at the same time. This is not yet permission to drive: red with amber still prohibits driving beyond the traffic lights and only announces that green will light up in a moment. You wait before the stop line until you see green.
The Regulation on road signs and signals says that red and amber signals shown at the same time mean a ban on driving beyond the traffic lights and inform you that the green signal will light up in a moment. Moving off already on this signal is a typical mistake - and it is particularly dangerous at a pedestrian crossing, because pedestrians who stepped onto the crossing earlier may still be finishing crossing.
