In this situation, should you exercise extreme caution even though there are no pedestrians around the crossing?

In the video you are driving along a street in a housing estate in town and approaching a pedestrian crossing marked with signs D-6 with plates T-27 on a yellow background on both sides of the roadway; there are no pedestrians near the crossing. You must exercise particular caution even though there are no pedestrians. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act requires a driver approaching a pedestrian crossing to exercise particular caution and to reduce speed so as not to endanger a pedestrian who is on the crossing or stepping onto it. The obligation arises at the moment you approach the crossing, not only when you see a pedestrian - the whole point is to be ready for a pedestrian who appears suddenly. The Regulation on road signs and signals states that plate T-27 under sign D-6 indicates that the crossing is used especially often by children, and the yellow background of the sign makes it more visible. Children are shorter, so parked cars hide them, and they run onto the roadway without looking around. That is why before such a crossing you slow down, move your foot over the brake and look at both pavements and between parked cars, even when there is nobody there at that second.
