Correct answer
Observe traffic, the intersection and signs to decide safely.
Observe traffic, the intersection and its signs in advance to choose a safe manoeuvre. Observation precedes signalling and execution, but does not remove the need to adapt speed throughout the approach to visibility and risks. There is no rule requiring you to ignore vertical signs or look at only one element: assess users, priorities, markings and lights. Signalling grants neither priority nor permission for an unsafe manoeuvre.
