In this situation you approach an intersection in which it is mandatory to drive on one of the directions straight ahead or to the right, an obligation imposed by the mandatory sign “Straight ahead or to the right” and by the markings with arrows for selection on lanes. This road signalling prohibits performing the turn to the left in this intersection.
Considering that you have moved into position on lane 1 you must respect the meaning of the marking applied on this lane, a marking which obliges you to drive on one of the directions straight ahead or to the right, the turn to the left being prohibited. If you had moved into position on lane 2 you would have had to respect the marking applied on that lane, a marking which obliges driving only in the direction straight ahead.
Therefore, if you have selected the traffic lane according to the image presented, you are allowed to drive on one of the directions straight ahead or to the right.
