Are you allowed to turn right in this situation?

Are you allowed to turn right in this situation?

Description

Art. 5 para. 2 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended), § 108 para. 1 and 3 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 police officer visible at the intersection is standing with his back towards you, which is equivalent to a signal prohibiting entry into the intersection. According to the hierarchy of importance, signals from a person directing traffic take priority over traffic lights; therefore, despite the green light, you must not perform a turn manoeuvre. This is regulated by Art. 5 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act.
