You intend to turn right in this situation. Are you obliged to stop before the intersection?
Description
Art. 3 para. 1, Art. 25 para. 1, Art. 26 para. 1 and 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 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
In this situation, there is no obligation to stop the vehicle, as it is not required by any sign (e.g., no B-20 'STOP' sign) or traffic light. The D-6 'pedestrian crossing' sign requires you to exercise special caution and reduce your speed. The obligation to stop would only arise to give way to a pedestrian, who is not visible on or near the crossing.
