Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, at a pedestrian crossing in a town, there is a person in a high-visibility vest who is raising a yellow disc with a STOP sign and holding out an arm towards you; next to them there are signs D-6 and A-17 "children". This is a person supervising the safe crossing of children over the roadway, and their signal orders you to stop - you must not continue driving. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act allows a person supervising the safe crossing of children over the roadway at a marked place to give signals to road users, and the Regulation on road signs and signals explains that this person gives the signal to stop by raising a square yellow disc with sign B-20. You stop before the crossing and move off only when the disc has been lowered and the children have left the roadway.
Legal basis: Art. 5 para. 1 and Art. 6 para. 1 point 6 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 109 para. 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
