Does the line in front of you, composed of rectangles, indicate the place to stop the vehicle in front of the pedestrian crossing?

Correct answer
YES
Explanation
A line made of white rectangles, painted across the lane, is give-way line P-14. It shows the place where you stop the vehicle when you have to give way to pedestrians on the crossing - you stop before the rectangles, not on them or on the zebra crossing.
The Regulation on road signs and signals says that marking P-14 "give-way line made of rectangles" shows the place where the vehicle stops, among others before a pedestrian crossing, before a light signal, before a level crossing and at the approaches of roads of equal status. It is "conditional" in its Polish name (linia warunkowego zatrzymania), because if there is nobody on or near the crossing, you drive through without stopping. The STOP sign visible in the video has its own separate line - the solid P-12; the P-14 rectangles concern the crossing, the traffic lights, the level crossing and the approaches of roads of equal status.
Legal basis: § 89 para. 3 point 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 26 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
