Are you obliged in this situation to reduce your speed when approaching a pedestrian crossing?

Description

Art. 26 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2021, item 450, as amended).
Explanation

Correct answer: No

In this situation, you are approaching a pedestrian crossing at an intersection where traffic is controlled by a green light. This signal allows you to enter, while pedestrians are prohibited from entering the roadway at this time. According to Art. 26 para. 1, the duty to reduce speed is meant to ensure pedestrian safety; however, with a green light and no pedestrians on the roadway, you are not required to slow down simply because you are approaching a crossing.
