Explanation

At the pedestrian crossings without traffic lights, signalled with signs and markings, when the public road has a single traffic lane for each direction, proceed as follows:

  • when there are no pedestrians near the pedestrian crossing, you will travel with increased attention without having the obligation to reduce the travel speed;
  • when there are pedestrians in the immediate vicinity of the pedestrian crossing who intend to engage in crossing, you have the obligation to travel with a speed that does not exceed 30 km/h in the urban area or 50 km/h outside built-up areas, in order to be able to stop safely if you must give priority to the pedestrians;
  • when the pedestrians engage in crossing the road, in addition to the obligation to travel with a speed that does not exceed 30 km/h in the urban area or 50 km/h outside built-up areas, you also have the obligation to give priority to the pedestrians, when they are on your direction of travel.

It must be noted that the road traffic legislation imposes this obligation to travel with a speed that does not exceed 30 km/h in the urban area or 50 km/h outside built-up areas if the pedestrian crossing which is without traffic lights, signalled with signs and markings, is on a road with a single traffic lane per direction, and the pedestrians on the sidewalk, in the immediate vicinity of the carriageway, intend to engage in crossing. In the case in which the road has two or more traffic lanes per direction, this obligation regarding the travel speed no longer applies, regardless of whether there are pedestrians in the immediate vicinity of the pedestrian crossing who intend to engage in crossing, but the obligation to give priority to the pedestrians remains, when they are on your direction of travel.

More information about the obligations that the driver of the vehicle has at the pedestrian crossing, depending on its type and on the number of lanes per direction, can be found in the Audio-Video lesson “Chapter 4 part 2 - The pedestrian crossing and the obligations of pedestrians” in step 1 on Școala Rutieră.

The correct answer is: A
