In this situation, are you entitled to continue driving without paying attention to the behaviour of pedestrians?
Explanation

Correct answer: No

The photo shows a marked pedestrian crossing (sign D-6), where two people are clearly waiting for an opportunity to cross. According to Art. 26 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, when approaching a pedestrian crossing, the driver is obliged to exercise special caution, which means closely observing the behaviour of pedestrians. Ignoring their presence is unacceptable, as you are obliged to yield the right of way to a pedestrian entering or already on the crossing.
