Description
Art. 6 para. pt 1) of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) and
§ 108 para. 1 and 3 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
No, in this situation, entering the junction is prohibited. The posture of the police officer, who is facing our vehicle with arms extended horizontally, means entry is forbidden. This signal is equivalent to a red light and applies to drivers approaching the officer from the front and the rear. According to the hierarchy of authority, signals given by a person directing traffic override road signs and traffic lights.
