Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
The sign in the photo is D-6b "pedestrian crossing and cycle crossing" - it marks a place where a pedestrian crossing and a cycle crossing are marked next to each other. A person using a mobility aid, for example rollerblades or a skateboard, crosses the roadway precisely at the cycle crossing, and a driver is obliged to give way to them when they are on the crossing. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act says that a driver approaching a cycle crossing must exercise particular caution and give way to a rider of a bicycle, an electric scooter or a personal transport device (UTO), and to a person using a mobility aid, who is on the crossing. A separate rule requires this person, when crossing the roadway, to use the cycle crossing, and if there is none - the pedestrian crossing.
Legal basis: Art. 27 para. 1 and Art. 15a para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 47 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
