Are you allowed in this situation to overtake the vehicle?

Description

Art. 26 para. 3 pt. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

In the visible situation, you are approaching a marked pedestrian crossing (sign D-6) where traffic is not controlled by traffic lights. According to Art. 26 para. 3 pt. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, drivers are prohibited from overtaking a vehicle on such a crossing or directly before it. This manoeuvre is forbidden because it poses a significant danger to pedestrians who might enter the roadway from behind the overtaken vehicle.
