The giving of priority will be done at the pedestrian crossing that follows after 50-200 meters and only to the pedestrians who cross the public road, when they are on the vehicle’s direction of travel. The sign in the image “Advance warning of pedestrian crossing” only warns that a pedestrian crossing follows, this one does not oblige to giving priority.
The traffic legislation does not provide, as a measure, to honk to warn the pedestrians. Honking will be used to prevent an immediate danger. We must take into account that audible signalling, such as honking, is allowed only from a distance of at least 25 meters from those it is addressed to.
In this situation you encounter the sign “Advance warning of pedestrian crossing”, this sign warns you that a pedestrian crossing follows and requires increased attention. This sign is always followed by the sign “Pedestrian crossing”.
Therefore, in the given situation, you must drive with caution to be able to reduce the speed and possibly stop if necessary.
The correct answer is: C
Regulation** - Article 135
The driver of the vehicle is obliged to give priority also in the following situations:
[...]
h) to the pedestrian who crosses the public road, through a specially designated place, marked and signalled accordingly or at the green colour of the traffic light intended for him, when he is on the vehicle’s direction of travel.
Regulation** - Article 113
(1) The audible warning means must be used from a distance of at least 25 m from those they are addressed to, for a period of time that ensures the perception of the signal and without determining them to maneuvers that may endanger the traffic safety.
