Along with the increase in privileging of pedestrians in the road traffic law, the problem which enthusiasts of new regulations is silent about has gained importance. It is a case of "undecided pedestrians". This is the standard question of many drivers approaching a pedestrian crossing:
In a sense, it may be up to the intention (!) of the pedestrian to punish the driver if he does not stop in front of the crossing to let him pass. Well, can you punish a driver who did not let a pedestrian who did not want to enter the crossing ...? It would be rather vain to appeal to pedestrians not to create such situations and to clearly manifest their intentions when they are at the crossing. How to solve this problem? Or maybe - when we regulate everything so much - it should be added in art. 14 of the Road Traffic Law, the provision reading: "It is forbidden (for a pedestrian): to stop unjustified directly at a pedestrian crossing" ....? 😉 Sounds absurd? Well, maybe it was absurd to give priority to pedestrians entering the roadway? After all, it is usually easier for a pedestrian to stop than for a car…
