In this situation, are you allowed to drive into the intersection without stopping in front of the line consisting of triangles?

Description

Art. 5 para. 1 and Art. 6 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Road Traffic Act of June 20, 1997 (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 as amended) § 108 para. 2 Regulation on Road Signs and Signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393 as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

In this situation, traffic is being directed by a police officer standing sideways to you, which is the equivalent of a green light and allows entry into the intersection. According to the hierarchy of signs and signals specified in Art. 5 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, instructions from a person directing traffic take precedence over road signs. This means that the visible conditional stop line (triangles) does not apply and you do not need to stop before it.
