Does the vertical sign on the right side inform you about a place where cyclists ride across the road?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a road through a forest and approaching a place where a red cycle path crosses the roadway; on the right there is a blue square sign showing a cyclist on crossing stripes - D-6a "cycle crossing". This sign informs you about a place where cyclists ride across the road. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-6a "cycle crossing" marks a place intended for cyclists to ride across the road, and a driver approaching a place marked with sign D-6, D-6a or D-6b must reduce speed so as not to endanger pedestrians or cyclists who are in these places or are entering them. The Road Traffic Act also requires you to exercise particular caution and give way to a cyclist who is on the crossing. A bicycle moves faster than a pedestrian, so you look far in both directions along the cycle path.
Legal basis: § 47 para. 2 and 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 27 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
