Are you obliged in this situation to slow down when there are no pedestrians on the road?

Description

Art. 26 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act and § 47 para. 1 and 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals.

Explanation

Correct answer: No

The visible D-6 sign indicates a place intended for pedestrians to cross the road. According to Art. 26 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, when approaching a crossing, the driver is obliged to exercise special caution and reduce speed so as not to endanger any pedestrian. However, if there are no pedestrians on or near the crossing, you have no absolute obligation to reduce speed, provided that special caution is maintained.
