In this situation, are you allowed to enter the intersection before the red signal lights turn on?
Description
Art. 5 para. 1 and art. 25 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws 2012, items 1137 and 1448) and § 95 para. 1 point 2 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: No
The recording shows that the yellow light turns on when the vehicle is still at a significant distance from the intersection (frames 5-10), which allows for a safe and smooth stop. According to § 95 para. 1 point 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals, a yellow light prohibits entry beyond the signal unless stopping the vehicle would require sudden braking that endangers safety. In this situation, you have an obligation to stop and must not enter the intersection.
