Is the next signal going to prohibit you from entering the junction?

Description

Art. 6 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Road Traffic Act § 108 para. 4 of the ZSD Regulation

Explanation

Correct answer: No

The visible police officer is standing with his back to the driver and holding his arm up, which according to § 108 para. 4 indicates a coming signal change. For drivers for whom entry was previously prohibited (those facing the officer's front or back), this means that a signal permitting entry will be given shortly (the officer will turn sideways). Therefore, the next signal will not prohibit entry but will permit it.
