In this situation, is the outermost right lane only intended for rail vehicles?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are driving along a street in a town behind a tram; on the right there is a blue sign with a tram symbol and a line separating part of the roadway, and above it B-36 "no stopping" with a plate "Nie dotyczy chodnika" (does not apply to the pavement). The far right lane is not intended only for rail vehicles. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign F-20 "part of the road (lane) for specified vehicles" shows a road or part of it intended for vehicles whose symbol is placed on the sign. On this sign the tram symbol is on the left side of the line - it is the left part of the roadway, with the tram tracks, that is reserved for trams, and the right part remains for other vehicles. Driving on tram tracks set aside for trams would mean entering a part of the road intended for other vehicles, but you can drive normally in the right lane. At a stop without a traffic island you must stop when a tram is standing at it or pulling in, so that passengers can walk there safely.
Legal basis: § 76 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 26 para. 6 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
