Should you anticipate the pedestrian bursting onto the road?

Show the correct answer

Correct answer

YES

Explanation

In the video you are approaching a pedestrian crossing with traffic lights; you have a green light, but on the right a man is walking quickly straight towards the zebra crossing and is not looking at the lights. You should expect that he will step onto the roadway even though pedestrians have a red light. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act lets you rely on other road users following the rules only when the circumstances do not suggest that they may behave differently; a pedestrian walking towards the crossing without paying attention to the lights is exactly such a circumstance. A green light also does not exempt you from particular caution at a crossing. You take your foot off the accelerator, watch the pedestrian and are ready to brake.

Legal basis: Art. 4 and Art. 26 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
