Does this sign warn you of a danger?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, you are driving along a street in a town - houses on the left, a park on the right; on the right there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark - sign A-30 "other danger" - with a plate with the word "Niewidomi" (blind people). This sign warns of danger. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that warning signs warn of places on the road where there is or may be a danger, and require road users to exercise particular caution; sign A-30 "other danger" warns of a danger of a different kind from those indicated by the other warning signs, and the plate placed under it shows the type of danger with a symbol or words. Here the words tell you what it is about: blind people often walk nearby, for example from a care centre or a school, so a pedestrian who cannot see an approaching car and finds their way only by hearing and with a white cane may step onto the roadway. Particular caution means that you slow down, watch the pavements on both sides and are ready to stop before a person with a cane, even if they are not on a crossing. You do not use the horn to "warn" them - that only confuses them.
