Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video we are riding in the right lane of a street in town, next to tram tracks; a bus stop line P-17 is painted in our lane, and on the left a tram is pulling into a stop without a traffic island; in our lane in front of us there are pedestrians crossing between the tram and the pavement. In this situation you are not allowed to continue - the answer is NO.
When a tram stop has no island for passengers and a tram is pulling into it or standing at it, the driver is obliged to stop the vehicle in such a place and for such a time as to allow pedestrians to walk freely to the tram or to the pavement. Passengers getting on and off have to cross your lane, so riding past the standing tram could end with hitting someone. You stop and wait until the pedestrians have crossed. You move off carefully - someone may still be running to catch the tram.
