Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a priority road; ahead of you is sign A-24 "cyclists" with a 50 km/h limit, and further on there is a cycle crossing and a pedestrian crossing with sign D-6b. When approaching a cycle crossing, you are obliged to exercise particular caution. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver approaching a cycle crossing to exercise particular caution and give way to a cyclist who is on the crossing, and sign A-24 warns of a place where cyclists ride onto the roadway or cross it. A bicycle is faster than a pedestrian and appears on the crossing suddenly, from behind bushes or a post - that is why you slow down earlier than before an ordinary zebra crossing.
Legal basis: Art. 27 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 3 para. 1, § 10 para. 6 and § 47 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
