In this situation, is it permissible to turn left and then make a U-turn at the intersection?
Description
Art. 5 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws 2012, items 1137 and 1448) and § 97 para. 1 and 3 in conjunction with § 95 para. 1 point 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
The visible S-3 directional traffic light displays a signal in the shape of a green left arrow, which indicates a collision-free passage in the specified direction. According to the regulations, specifically § 97 of the Regulation on road signs and signals, this signal allows not only turning left but also performing a U-turn from the extreme left lane (unless prohibited by a B-23 sign). Therefore, in this situation, both maneuvers are permissible.
