When driving in an area without designated lanes for vehicles and pedestrians, where they share the same space, is the driver obliged to yield to pedestrians who are moving around the area?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes. Under art. 13 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act, in a square where pedestrians and vehicles move on the same surface because there is no separate carriageway, the driver must give way to pedestrians. The shop car park shown in the photo is a typical example of such a square.
