Show the correct answer

Correct answer

YES

Explanation

In the video you are driving along a street with tram tracks on the left; trams are coming from the opposite direction and block your view of the left side of the roadway, and there is a pedestrian crossing ahead of you. In such a situation you should increase your attention and be ready for a pedestrian to step onto the roadway from behind a tram on the left. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act requires a driver approaching a pedestrian crossing to exercise particular caution and reduce speed so as not to endanger a pedestrian, and to follow the principle of limited trust when the circumstances suggest that another road user may behave unusually. A tram car is a wall from behind which a pedestrian appears suddenly, two metres in front of your bonnet. You slow down, move to the right as far as the roadway allows, and watch the space in front of the tram.

Legal basis: Art. 26 para. 1, Art. 4 and Art. 3 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
