"The State Traffic Inspectorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Sverdlovsk Region reports that the message circulated via email to the media in the Sverdlovsk Region regarding the prohibition of the use of road sign 5.19.1 'Pedestrian Crossing' (the variant with yellow-blue color scheme) is not true and is being refuted.
