Show the correct answer

Correct answer

YES

Explanation

In the video, you are approaching a junction with traffic lights in a town, where the traffic lights are showing green; a tram is crossing the junction, and a silver car is driving in front of you. You are allowed to continue driving through the junction. The answer is: yes.

The Regulation on road signs and signals states that a green signal shown by traffic lights S-1 means permission to proceed past the traffic lights, but it does not allow you to enter if your vehicle would make it difficult for pedestrians or cyclists to leave the roadway, or if, because of traffic conditions at the junction or beyond it, you could not leave the junction before the end of the green signal. So you have the right to go, but a green light does not release you from looking: the tram that is still at the junction must leave it, and you must not drive into its path or get stuck on the tracks. A tram driver turning at a junction with traffic lights gives way to vehicles going straight on, but a tram has a long braking distance, so common sense tells you not to force your way. You drive through smoothly behind the silver car, watching the tracks and the pedestrian crossings, and you are ready to stop if the tram or a pedestrian has not yet cleared your path.

Legal basis: § 95 para. 1 point 1, para. 2 and para. 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
