Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, at a pedestrian crossing, there is a person in a high-visibility vest with a raised yellow disc with a STOP sign; at the crossing there are signs D-6 and A-17 "children". A disc raised by the person supervising the crossing of children is a signal that orders you to stop the vehicle. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act states that a person supervising the safe crossing of children over the roadway at a marked place may give signals to road users, and they must follow them. The Regulation on road signs and signals says that this person gives the signal to stop with a square yellow disc with sign B-20 with yellow text and a yellow border. You stop at a safe distance from the crossing and wait until the person lowers the disc.
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
