In this situation, are you obliged to yield the right of way to the pedestrian?

In the video you are driving along a town street towards a pedestrian crossing marked with sign D-6; at the edge of the pavement on the right, right next to the crossing, a man in a red jacket is standing, and next to him a woman with a bag - both are facing the roadway, and on the traffic island there is sign C-9. You have to give way to the pedestrian. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act requires a driver approaching a pedestrian crossing to exercise particular caution, to reduce speed so as not to endanger a pedestrian who is on the crossing or entering it, and to give way to a pedestrian who is on the crossing or entering it. Since 2021, right of way belongs not only to a pedestrian already on the crossing, but also to one who is entering it - a person standing at the kerb, facing the roadway and starting to step onto the crossing, is exactly a pedestrian who is entering it. Giving way means that you must not force the pedestrian to stop, slow down or speed up. So you stop before the crossing and wait until the pedestrian has crossed your lane.

Legal basis: Art. 26 para. 1 and Art. 2 point 23 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 47 para. 1 and 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
