Show the correct answer

Correct answer

YES

Explanation

In the video, you are approaching a pedestrian crossing in town with a traffic island marked C-9, with D-6 signs with plate T-27 on a yellow background; from the right, a person in light-coloured clothing is stepping onto the crossing. You are obliged to give way to them. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act states that a pedestrian entering a pedestrian crossing has right of way over a vehicle, and that when approaching a crossing, the driver is obliged 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 them. The pedestrian in the video is just stepping onto the crossing from the right, that is, from your side - they have right of way, and you slow down and stop before the crossing until they have crossed your lane. Plate T-27 indicates that the crossing is used especially often by children, and the yellow background of the signs is meant to draw attention to a dangerous place - both signals tell you to approach more slowly here and to watch both pavements. You are also not allowed to go around a vehicle that has stopped to give way to a pedestrian, or to overtake immediately before the crossing.

Legal basis: Art. 13 para. 1a and Art. 26 para. 1 and 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 47 para. 1, 4 and 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
