You are driving a vehicle at the speed of 30 km/h. Should you stop the vehicle before the traffic lights in this situation?
Description
§ 95.1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 as amended on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended) in conjunction with Art. 3.1 of the Act of 20.06.1997 "Road Traffic Act" (unified text (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)).
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
The video shows the traffic light displaying a yellow signal (frames 4-7), which then changes to red while the vehicle is still a considerable distance from the intersection. Traveling at 30 km/h, you have enough space to stop the vehicle safely without the need for emergency braking. According to § 95 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals, a yellow signal prohibits entering past the signal unless the vehicle cannot be stopped without creating a traffic safety hazard.
