Does the behaviour of the pedestrian require you to use the horn?

Description

Art. 29 para. 1 in conjunction with Art. 26 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

No. According to Art. 29 of the Road Traffic Act, the audible warning signal (horn) is only to be used to warn of danger. The pedestrian in this situation is behaving correctly, crossing at a marked crossing where they have priority. There is no danger here, so using the horn is unnecessary and not permitted.
