Are you obliged in this situation to stop before the traffic light?
Description
§ 98 para. 5 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on traffic signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended) in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (consolidated text: Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
Yes, stopping is mandatory. The S-2 signal shows a continuous red light, which prohibits driving past the signal. The driver is obliged to stop the vehicle before the signal and wait for permission to enter, which means waiting for the red light to turn off and the barriers to rise.
