Turning right in this situation, must you give right of way to the pedestrian?

Description

Art. 26 para. 2 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) in conjunction with § 88 para. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of the Interior and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes. A driver turning into a crossing road is obliged to give way to a pedestrian crossing the carriageway of the road they are entering. Even though the S-1 traffic light shows a general green signal, this does not exempt the driver from this duty. According to Art. 26 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, the pedestrian has the right of way in this situation.
