In this situation, does the light displayed allow you to drive beyond the traffic light post if you do not cause impediments to traffic for oncoming vehicles?

Description

§ 95 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

A red signal on the S-1 traffic light, according to § 95 of the Regulation on road signs and signals, means an absolute prohibition of entry. The issue of obstructing oncoming traffic is irrelevant – you must stop and wait for the green signal. The traffic light system visible in the picture is typical for controlling alternating traffic on a narrowed section of road due to roadworks.
