Are you obliged to stop the vehicle in the presented situation?
Description
Art. 26 para. 1 and 7 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
The video shows a person in a wheelchair entering a marked pedestrian crossing, which classifies them as a person with visibly limited mobility. According to Art. 26 para. 7 of the Road Traffic Act, in such a situation you are obliged to stop your vehicle to enable this person to cross the roadway safely. This regulation mandates special behaviour towards disabled people or those with limited mobility, going beyond standard yielding of right-of-way.
