In this situation, if you turn left, are you obliged to stop before the intersection?

Description

Art. 5 para. 1 and 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137) § 108 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws of 2002, No. 170, item 1393, as amended).
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

According to Art. 5 of the Road Traffic Act, signals from a person directing traffic are more important than traffic lights and road signs. Even though the traffic light is showing a green signal, you must obey the command of the person directing traffic. Their posture – facing your vehicle – prohibits entry into the junction.
