Is it allowed to overtake a motor vehicle in such a place on the road?

In the photo you are driving along a city street in winter and approaching a pedestrian crossing marked with signs D-6, above which a flashing amber signal hangs; before the crossing there are lane direction arrows on the roadway, and there is snow on the road. Overtaking a power-driven vehicle is not allowed at such a place. The answer is: no.

The Road Traffic Act prohibits a driver from overtaking a vehicle on a pedestrian crossing and immediately before it, except at a crossing where traffic is controlled; the Regulation on road signs and signals states that a flashing amber signal only warns of danger and requires particular caution, so it does not mean that traffic is controlled. The ban protects pedestrians: a vehicle that has stopped before the crossing hides the crossing from you, and by overtaking it you would drive onto the crossing without seeing who is stepping onto it. The flashing amber light above the zebra crossing and the snow on the roadway are additional signals to slow down - the braking distance is longer, and a pedestrian in a hooded jacket may not notice your car. You stay behind the vehicle in front and overtake only after the crossing.

Legal basis: Art. 26 para. 3 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 98 para. 6 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
