You do not have the obligation to reduce the travel speed at all types of pedestrian crossings. For example, if the pedestrian crossing is on a road that has two or more traffic lanes for each direction, the obligation to reduce the travel speed does not apply. See the explanation for answer B for more details.
At non‑signalised pedestrian crossings, signalled with signs and markings, when the public road has a single traffic lane for each direction, proceed as follows:
It must be known that the traffic legislation imposes the obligation to reduce the travel speed to 30 km/h in built‑up areas and 50 km/h outside them if the non‑signalised pedestrian crossing, signalled with signs and markings, is on a road with a single traffic lane for each direction, and the pedestrians are in the immediate vicinity of the pedestrian crossing. If the road has two or more traffic lanes for each direction, whether the pedestrians are or are not in the immediate vicinity of the pedestrian crossing, the obligation to reduce the travel speed to 30 km/h in built‑up areas and 50 km/h outside them no longer applies, but the obligation to give priority to pedestrians remains, when they are on your direction of travel.
It must also be known that the traffic legislation DOES NOT impose the obligation to reduce the travel speed if the pedestrian crossing is signalised with traffic lights, whether or not it is in an intersection. In this case priority is given to the pedestrian who crosses the public road at the green light of the traffic light intended for the pedestrian.
You have the obligation to give priority to the pedestrian who crosses the public road, through a specially designated place, marked and signalled accordingly or at the green light of the traffic light intended for him, when he is on the direction of travel of the vehicle. It is not regulatory to drive on the right side and to stop only at the pedestrians’ signal, the obligation to stop to give priority is not conditioned by a signal made by the pedestrian. See the explanation for answer B for more details.
The correct answer is: B
The driver of a vehicle is obliged to drive at a speed that does not exceed 30 km/h in built‑up areas or 50 km/h outside built‑up areas, in the following situations:
h) at non‑signalised pedestrian crossings, signalled with signs and markings, when the public road has at most one lane per direction, and the pedestrians on the sidewalk, in the immediate vicinity of the carriageway, intend to engage in crossing;
