When you drive a vehicle and notice members of the school traffic patrols, at the pedestrian crossings near the educational institutions, who give you stop signals, 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 the speed and to drive with attention, because stopping is mandatory.
Do not confuse “members of the school traffic patrols” with “organized groups”, when passing by which you have the obligation to drive with a speed which does not exceed 30 km/h in the urban area or 50 km/h outside built-up area, when they are moving or waiting on the carriageway of roads with a single lane per direction.
When you drive a vehicle you do NOT have the obligation to move to the lane next to the axis of the road at the signals given by the members of the school traffic patrols, at the pedestrian crossings near the educational institutions. Moreover, this is NOT allowed to you, considering that you have the obligation to stop at their signals.
When you drive a vehicle you have the obligation to stop at the signals given by the members of the school traffic patrols, at the pedestrian crossings near the educational institutions.
