Do you have to comply with the "STOP" sign in the presented situation?
Description
Art. 5 para. 3 and art. 25 para. 1 in relation to art. 3 of the Act of 20 June 1997 Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) in conjunction with § 21 para. 1 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. According to the hierarchy specified in Art. 5 of the Road Traffic Act, traffic light signals have priority over road signs regulating the right of way. As the traffic light is showing a green signal, which permits entry, you should not obey the B-20 "STOP" sign. This sign would only apply if the traffic lights were switched off or were flashing yellow.
