Does the light displayed over your lane oblige you to stop before the traffic light post?

Description

§ 97 paras. 1 and 2, in conjunction with § 95 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of 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 visible S-3 directional traffic light is showing a green signal in the form of a left-pointing arrow. This means you are permitted to enter the area beyond the light and make a left turn. Such a signal guarantees that there will be no conflict with other road users while performing the manoeuvre, therefore there is no obligation to stop.
