In a place marked as such, are you obliged to anticipate that a cyclist may appear on the crossing?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo a tram is approaching a pedestrian crossing across the tracks under a flyover (viaduct); next to the track there is sign D-6b "pedestrian crossing and cycle crossing", and pedestrians are walking nearby. In a place marked like this, you must be prepared for a person riding a bicycle to appear on the cycle crossing - the answer is YES.
Sign D-6b marks a pedestrian crossing and a cycle crossing located next to each other. The Road Traffic Act requires the driver of a vehicle approaching a cycle crossing to exercise particular caution and give way to a cyclist who is on the crossing - this duty also applies to the tram driver. Cyclists ride faster than pedestrians walk and may appear on the cycle crossing suddenly, from behind pedestrians or from behind the pillars of the flyover. So you reduce speed and watch the approaches to the cycle crossing.
Legal basis: Art. 27 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 47 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
