When turning right, are you obliged to give priority to the rail vehicle?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo we are waiting in the right lane with an arrow for going straight on and turning right, before a junction with tram tracks; the traffic lights are showing a green signal for us, and by the tracks, on the road into which we are turning right, there is sign A-7 "give way". When turning right, you are obliged to give way to the rail vehicle - the answer is YES.
Sign A-7 placed before rail vehicle tracks means that the driver must give way to rail vehicles moving on these tracks. The sign is on the road into which you are turning, so you let the tram go first before you enter the tracks. The green signal allows you to enter the junction, but sign A-7 before the tracks still applies at the place where the road crosses the tram tracks. When crossing tram tracks, you exercise particular caution, and when turning - you also let pedestrians on the crossing go first.
