In this situation, are you warned of a place on a road that is particularly frequented by children or of the proximity of such a place?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, you are driving along a street in a town next to a brick church on the left; on the right, by the houses, there is a yellow triangle with the figures of two running children - sign A-17 "children". You are warned of a place on the road particularly frequented by children or of the proximity of such a place. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-17 "children" warns of a place on the road particularly frequented by children or of the proximity of such a place - it is placed near schools, nurseries, playgrounds and sports fields. Children are the least predictable road users: they are short, so it is easy to miss them behind a parked car, they cannot judge the speed of an approaching car, and they run onto the roadway after a ball or a friend without looking. The sign does not mark a crossing or require you to stop, but like every warning sign it requires you to exercise particular caution: you slow down, especially at the times when children go to school and come back, you watch the pavements on both sides and move your foot from the accelerator to over the brake. When you see one child, expect more - they rarely walk alone.
