In this situation, are you approaching a crossing for cyclists and pedestrians?

Show the correct answer

Correct answer

YES

Explanation

In the photo you are approaching a junction with traffic lights in a city; on the right, below sign A-7, there is the blue sign D-6b with pedestrian and bicycle symbols, and on the roadway in front of you there are the white stripes of a crossing and the red strip of a cycle crossing. You are approaching a cycle crossing and a pedestrian crossing located next to each other. The answer is: yes.

The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-6 marks a pedestrian crossing, D-6a - a cycle crossing, and D-6b "pedestrian crossing and cycle crossing" - both these places located next to each other; a driver approaching them must reduce speed so as not to put pedestrians or cyclists in danger. The Road Traffic Act requires you to give way to a pedestrian who is on the crossing or stepping onto it and to a cyclist who is on the cycle crossing. The two groups move at different speeds, so you look separately at the pavement and separately at the cycle path on both sides; the traffic lights help, but they do not free you from paying attention, because someone may walk or ride out on red.

Legal basis: § 47 para. 1-4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 26 para. 1 and Art. 27 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
