Description

Art. 26 para. 1 and 7 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) in conjunction with § 47 para. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals.

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes. A driver approaching a pedestrian crossing is obliged to give way to a pedestrian on the crossing. In the situation shown, the person in the wheelchair is already on the crossing, which makes it mandatory to stop the vehicle and allow them to cross the carriageway safely. This obligation arises from Art. 26 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act.
