Is stopping the vehicle in this place, in order to give the right of way to other drivers, proper in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you have stopped in front of a pedestrian crossing, at give-way line P-14 painted before the zebra crossing; behind the crossing there is a junction with a priority road, and on the right there are signs B-20 "STOP" and D-6. From this place you cannot see the intersecting road well, so stopping here in order to give way to drivers is not correct. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that at sign B-20 you should stop at the marked place, and if there is none - at a place where the driver can make sure that he will not obstruct traffic on the priority road; line P-14 before the crossing, on the other hand, shows the place to stop for pedestrians. So you stop before the zebra crossing for pedestrians, and when the crossing is clear, you drive over it slowly and stop again after it, at the edge of the junction, where you can see the priority road.
Legal basis: § 21 para. 1 and 2 and § 89 para. 3 point 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
