In this situation, are you warned of a designated pedestrian crossing?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are driving along a street in a town next to a church; on the right there is a yellow triangle with the figures of running children - sign A-17 "children". You are not warned of a designated pedestrian crossing - that warning is given by sign A-16, and the crossing itself is marked by sign D-6. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals distinguishes between these signs: A-16 "pedestrian crossing" warns of a pedestrian crossing and has a pedestrian on a zebra crossing in its symbol, while A-17 "children" warns of a place on the road particularly frequented by children or of the proximity of such a place and has two running children in its symbol. The crossing itself is marked by the blue information sign D-6, and plate T-27 under that sign shows that the crossing is used particularly by children. In the video there is only A-17, without D-6 or A-16, so the sign does not tell you about a designated crossing - it tells you that in this place children may appear on the roadway anywhere, including away from a crossing. For you, the difference is practical: at A-17 you do not look for a zebra crossing, but watch the whole width of the street and the pavements, slow down and are ready to stop in front of a child.
Legal basis: § 8 para. 1 and 2 and § 47 para. 1 and 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
