Is it allowed to overtake a motor vehicle in such a place on the road?
Description
Art. 26 para. 3 pt. 1 in conjunction with art. 2 pt. 1; art. 5 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 and 1448) in conjunction with § 47 para. 1 and § 88 para. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: No
Overtaking a motor vehicle at a pedestrian crossing and immediately before it is prohibited, which stems from Art. 26 para. 3 pt. 1 of the Road Traffic Act. The visible D-6 "pedestrian crossing" sign and the flashing yellow light signal require you to exercise special caution. The exception to the ban applies to crossings where traffic is directed (e.g., by S-1 traffic lights), but a flashing yellow light only warns of danger, so the prohibition on overtaking is in effect in this situation.
