Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street in a town and approaching a junction; on the right there is sign A-7 "give way", and under it D-6 "pedestrian crossing" with plate T-27. The visible "give way" sign applies only to the nearest junction. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-7 warns of a junction with a priority road, and it is placed at a distance of up to 50 m from the junction on roads where you may drive faster than 60 km/h, and up to 25 m on other roads; sign A-7 placed within a junction applies only to the nearest roadway before which it has been placed. So the sign tells you about one junction, the nearest one - what right of way looks like at the next one will be decided by the signs placed before it. If there is no sign at the next junction, the right-hand rule will apply, and if you see D-1, you will have right of way. At this junction you give way to vehicles on the intersecting road, slowing down so that you can stop before it if necessary, and you watch out for children on the crossing, which plate T-27 warns you about.
Legal basis: § 5 para. 5 and § 3 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
