Are you obliged to stop in this situation?

Description

Art. 5 para. 2 and Art. 6 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Road Traffic Act § 108 para. 3 of the ZSD Regulation

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, in this situation you must strictly stop your vehicle before the intersection. The police officer's position (with his back to oncoming traffic) means entry is prohibited, as stated in § 108 para. 3 of the Regulation. A police officer's signals take precedence over the visible green light on the traffic signal, according to Art. 5 para. 2 of the Act.
