In this situation, are the traffic lights more important than the road signs?

Description

Art. 5 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137)
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, in this situation, traffic lights take precedence over road signs. The video shows an active traffic light (green light) and a B-20 "STOP" sign. According to the hierarchy of precedence defined in Art. 5 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act, traffic light signals have priority over road signs. Therefore, you must obey the green light, and the "STOP" sign only applies when the traffic lights are switched off or are flashing yellow.
