In this situation, do you have the right to drive straight ahead through the intersection?

Description

Art. 5 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (consolidated text: Journal of Laws 2012, item 1137 as amended) in conjunction with § 35 para. 1 pt. 2 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)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

You cannot drive straight ahead, because the mandatory direction sign C-2 'Turn right ahead' obliges the driver to turn right at this junction. The green light permits entry beyond the signal, but it does not cancel the command shown on sign C-2. The only permitted manoeuvre is to turn right.
