In this situation, are you required to use a sound signal to alert children that you are approaching the pedestrian crossing?
Description
Act of 20 June 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws 1997, No. 98, item 602, as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: No
No. According to Art. 29 of the Road Traffic Act, the audible warning signal (horn) may only be used to warn of danger. When approaching a pedestrian crossing where pedestrians are present, the driver is obliged to give them priority. Using the horn in this situation would be unjustified and could startle the children, leading to an unpredictable and dangerous situation.
