You intend to drive straight on in the presented situation. Are you obliged to stop before entering the intersection?

In the video you are approaching a junction in a town; on the right there is sign A-7 "give way", and beyond it D-6 "pedestrian crossing" with plate T-27; a pedestrian is walking across the crossing from the left. As you intend to go straight on, you do not have to stop before entering the junction - you only have to give way. The answer is: no.

The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-7 warns of a junction with a priority road, so it imposes an obligation to give way to vehicles on that road; the obligation to stop is introduced only by sign B-20 "STOP". According to the Road Traffic Act, giving way means holding back from moving if your movement could force another driver to change direction or lane or to change speed significantly, and a pedestrian - to stop, slow down or speed up. When the intersecting road is empty and the pedestrian has left the crossing, you drive through without stopping, only slowing down enough to assess the situation. When someone is coming or a pedestrian is on the crossing, you stop - but then it is the situation that forces you to stop, not the sign. Before the crossing, particular caution applies, and plate T-27 warns of children.

Legal basis: § 5 para. 5 and § 21 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 2 point 23 and Art. 26 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
