You intend to turn left. Do you have the right of way before the rail vehicle approaching from the opposite direction?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street with tram tracks in the middle, and a tram is coming from the opposite direction. You intend to turn left, that is, to cross the tracks in front of it. A driver turning left gives way to a vehicle from the opposite direction, and the tram also has right of way as a rail vehicle. You do not have right of way over it. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver turning left to give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction straight on or turning right, and gives a rail vehicle right of way no matter which side it comes from. A tram needs several dozen metres to stop, so before turning across the tracks you wait until it has passed, and only then do you drive onto the tracks.
