Correct answer
The traffic light, because it has priority.
The traffic signal under Article 133’s order: officers, temporary traffic-control signs and delineation, traffic signals, vertical signs and road markings. The most-restrictive rule applies to signs of the same type. Green does not permit entering if you would foreseeably block the junction or endangering users still crossing it.
