In this situation, can you drive through the pedestrian crossing without reducing speed?

Description

Art. 26 para. 1 in conjunction with art. 3 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

A driver approaching a pedestrian crossing is obliged to exercise special caution and reduce speed so as not to endanger pedestrians. As seen in the video, pedestrians are already on the crossing, which obliges the driver to stop and give them right of way. Driving through without reducing speed would be extremely dangerous and a flagrant violation of the provisions of Art. 26 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act.
