In this situation, can you enter the intersection?

Description

Art. 5 para. 2, Art. 6 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Act of June 20, 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) and § 108 para. 2 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and Internal Affairs and Administration of July 31, 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended).
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

In this situation, traffic at the intersection is being directed by a police officer standing sideways to you. This position is the equivalent of a green light and permits entry into the intersection according to § 108 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals. Remember that signals given by a person directing traffic take precedence over traffic lights (even if a red light is visible), as stated in Art. 5 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act.
