Correct answer
NO
Explanation
On the pedestrian crossing there is a person in a reflective vest who is raising a yellow disc with a STOP sign. This is a person supervising the safe crossing of children over the roadway. The raised disc is a signal for you to stop the vehicle, so you must not drive on until the person lowers it.
The Road Traffic Act gives such a person the right to give signals to road users at a designated place, and the Regulation on road signs and signals states that this person gives the stop signal by raising a square yellow disc with sign B-20 "STOP". Instructions and signals from persons authorised to direct traffic take priority over road signs and traffic light signals. You stop before the crossing and move off only when the disc has been lowered and the pedestrians have left the roadway.
Legal basis: Art. 5 para. 1 and 2 and Art. 6 para. 1 point 6 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 109 para. 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
