In this situation, are you obliged to stop before you enter the intersection?

Description

§ 95 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Regulation of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended) in conjunction with Art. 5 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

According to the hierarchy of precedence, traffic light signals are more important than road signs regulating the right of way. In this situation, a green signal is being shown, which permits entry into the junction, and therefore the B-20 "STOP" sign does not apply. The driver would only have to stop at the "STOP" sign if the traffic lights were switched off or were showing a flashing yellow signal.
