If you merge with traffic, should you give the right of way to a pedestrian who is not on a pedestrian crossing?

Description

Art. 17 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137).
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes. According to Art. 17 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver joining traffic is obliged to give way to all other road users. This obligation also applies to the pedestrian, regardless of whether they are on a crossing or, as seen in the video, away from one. The manoeuvre of joining traffic always requires exercising special caution.
