When you drive a vehicle and notice members of the school traffic patrols, at pedestrian crossings near educational institutions, who address stop signals to you, you have the obligation to stop, allowing the respective patrol to cross the street. Therefore, in such a situation, it is not enough only to reduce speed and to drive with attention, because stopping is mandatory.
Do not confuse “members of the school traffic patrols” with “organized groups”, when passing near which you have the obligation to drive at a speed that does not exceed 30 km/h in the urban area or 50 km/h outside built-up area, when these are in motion or stationary on the carriageway of roads with a single traffic lane per direction.
When you drive a vehicle you do NOT have the obligation to move into the lane next to the axis of the road at the signals given by the members of the school traffic patrols, at pedestrian crossings near educational institutions. Moreover, this is NOT permitted to you, considering that you have the obligation to stop at their signals.
