Are you entitled to turn left at the intersection from this lane after the traffic lights turn green?

Description

Art. 5 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws 2012, item 1137 and 1448) and § 87 para. 1 pt. 2, in conjunction with § 95 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and 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: Yes

A horizontal road sign P-8b (directional arrow straight ahead or left) is visible on the occupied lane, indicating the permitted directions of travel from this lane. According to § 87 para. 1 pt. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals, this arrow permits movement in the directions indicated by its arrowheads. This means that once the traffic light changes to green, you have the right to perform a left turn manoeuvre.
