In this situation, do you have to wait for children and the person directing traffic to leave the pedestrian crossing?

In the video you are approaching a pedestrian crossing near a school in a town, marked with sign D-6 with plate T-27; on the crossing there is a person in an orange vest holding up a yellow board with a "STOP" sign, and children are crossing the roadway, including one in a wheelchair. You must wait until the children and the person directing traffic have left the crossing. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act states that instructions or signals may be given to a road user by, among others, a person supervising the safe crossing of children over the roadway at a designated place, and a road user must follow their instructions and signals. The Regulation on road signs and signals states that persons supervising children's crossing give the signal to stop the vehicle by raising a square yellow board with sign B-20 with a yellow inscription and border - exactly like the one you see in the video. So the raised board works like a red light: you stop before the crossing and wait until the supervising person lowers it and leaves the roadway. Regardless of this, you give way to pedestrians on the crossing, and plate T-27 warns that the crossing is used particularly often by children.
