You stopped in front of a pedestrian crossing. Are you also obliged to stop in front of the line immediately beyond the crossing?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are approaching a junction with sign B-20 "STOP"; before the junction there is a pedestrian crossing, which a man is crossing, and mandatory stop line P-12 with the word STOP is painted directly beyond the crossing. After stopping before the crossing for the pedestrian, you must stop once more - before line P-12. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals provides that marking P-12 "mandatory stop line - STOP" shows where the vehicle must stop in connection with sign B-20, and the stop required by sign B-20 should take place at the place marked for this purpose. Stopping before the crossing results from a different obligation - giving way to a pedestrian - and does not replace stopping before the line, because from the place before the crossing you cannot yet see the priority road well. So you let the pedestrian cross, drive up to line P-12, stop, and move off only after checking the road you are crossing.
Legal basis: § 21 para. 1 and 2 and § 89 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 26 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
