The meanings of the signals of the traffic lights will be respected with priority over the meanings of regulatory priority signs. In the given situation, encountering a traffic light in operation, you will respect the meaning of the signal of the traffic light, this being the one of green colour which allows you to pass. The “Stop” sign installed next to the traffic light will be respected in the situation in which the traffic light does not operate or when it has the intermittent yellow colour signal operating.
The other signs installed next to the traffic light, with the exception of regulatory priority signs, must be respected simultaneously with the green colour signal of the traffic light, thus you have the obligation to also respect the meaning of the “No left turn” sign, a situation in which you are prohibited to turn left in this intersection, even if the traffic light has the green colour signal operating.
Therefore, in this situation the green signal of the traffic light will allow passing and you can enter the intersection, having priority over the white car on the right.
