Can you continue driving in this situation?
Description
Art. 5 para. 1 and para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act of June 20, 1997, in conjunction with para. 3 pt. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on Traffic Control.
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
In the visible situation, traffic at the intersection is being directed by a police officer whose instructions and signals take precedence over traffic lights and road signs, as stipulated in Art. 5 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act. The officer is standing sideways to you, which means traffic is open for those approaching from this direction (equivalent to a green light). Therefore, despite the red light on the signal, you have the right and the obligation to follow the officer's stance and continue driving.
