In this situation, if you exercise special caution, can you enter the pedestrian crossing?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are approaching a pedestrian crossing marked with D-6 signs with plate T-27; from the left, an elderly person pushing a walking frame is stepping onto the zebra crossing. In this situation, even if you exercise particular caution, you are not allowed to drive onto the crossing. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver approaching a crossing to exercise particular caution, to reduce speed so as not to endanger a pedestrian, and to give way to a pedestrian who is on the crossing or stepping onto it; when a person with visibly limited mobility is crossing, the driver is obliged to stop the vehicle to allow them to cross. A person with a walking frame walks slowly and will not speed up, so you stop before the zebra crossing and wait until they have left the roadway.
Legal basis: Art. 26 para. 1 and 7 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 47 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
