Question 834 of 1208

The traffic light installed on the sidewalk has the red signal operating, and the suspended one, for the left direction of travel, the green signal. The driver of the vehicle who wants to go straight ahead has the right to enter the intersection?

A yes, because the suspended traffic light has the green signal operating;
B no, because the traffic light on the sidewalk, which is addressed to him, has the red signal operating;
C no, because moving straight ahead is allowed only when the green signal is operating at both traffic lights.

Explanation

When the traffic light installed on the sidewalk has the red signal operating and the suspended one, for the left direction of travel, the green signal, the drivers of vehicles who want to travel straight ahead or to turn to the right must respect the meaning of the traffic light installed on the sidewalk.

The drivers of vehicles who want to change the direction of travel to the left must respect the meaning of the traffic light for the left turn, meaning the suspended traffic light on whose lamps black arrows with the tip to the left are applied or it can have attached a panel on which an arrow with the tip to the left is found.

Therefore, the driver of the vehicle who wants to travel straight ahead cannot enter the intersection, because the red signal of the traffic light installed on the sidewalk does not allow him to pass.

The correct answer is: B
