In this situation, do you have a right to enter the intersection without stopping?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street in a town behind a red car and approaching a junction; on the right, before the junction, there is sign B-20 "STOP" with sign D-6b "pedestrian crossing and cycle crossing" and a diversion plate; before the junction there is a zebra crossing. You are not allowed to enter the junction without stopping. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-20 "STOP" means that you must not enter the junction without stopping in front of the priority road and that you must give way to drivers travelling on that road; you should stop at the place marked for this purpose, and if there is none - at a place where you can make sure that you will not obstruct traffic on the priority road. The STOP sign differs from A-7 precisely in that stopping is always mandatory, even when the intersecting road looks empty - it is placed where visibility is poor. You stop completely, so that the wheels stop turning, look left and right, let pedestrians and cyclists on the crossing go first, and only then do you enter the junction.
Legal basis: § 21 para. 1 and 2 and § 47 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
