Should you always stop before a pedestrian crossing marked as such?

Description

Regulation on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws of 2002, No. 170, item 1393, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

No, there is no obligation to stop before every pedestrian crossing. The duty to stop the vehicle and give way arises when a pedestrian is on the crossing or is entering it. Regardless, the driver must always exercise special caution and reduce speed to be prepared to stop.
