In this situation, if you exercise special caution, can you enter the pedestrian crossing?

Description

Art. 26 para. 7 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

You do not have the right to enter the pedestrian crossing because a pedestrian is on it. According to Art. 26 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver is obliged to give way to a pedestrian on a crossing. Additionally, this is a person with a visible mobility impairment, which, according to para. 7 of the same article, imposes an absolute duty on the driver to stop the vehicle to allow them to cross safely.
