Are you allowed to turn left in this situation?
Description
Art. 5 para. 1 and Art. 6 para. pt. 1) of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 as amended)
§ 108 para. 5 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and 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
In the visible situation, the police officer is standing sideways to the driver, which according to § 108 para. 5 means that traffic is open (equivalent to a green light). This position allows you to go straight and turn right. Turning left is prohibited in this specific situation because it would force an oncoming vehicle (the red bus), for which traffic is also open, to stop. When traffic is directed by a police officer, a conflicting left-turn manoeuvre should only be performed after ensuring it can be done without collision or upon a clear signal from the officer.
