In the presented situation, does the illuminated light prohibit drivers going straight from driving beyond the traffic lights?

Description

§ 96 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: Yes

Yes, the red light on the main signal means it is absolutely forbidden to enter. The green arrow lit up next to it is only an exception that allows for a conditional right turn, after first coming to a stop. For drivers going straight ahead, the red signal remains binding and prohibits them from continuing their journey.
