Can you in this situation use the sound signal?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

According to the regulations, the use of the horn in a built-up area is permitted only to warn of immediate danger. In the situation shown, you are approaching a pedestrian crossing, and there are people near the tracks whose behaviour could create a hazard. Therefore, in order to avoid an accident, warning them with the horn is fully justified.
