In this situation, should you heighten your attention to such an extent as to enable you to react quickly enough?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we are driving a tram towards a pedestrian crossing marked with sign D-6 with plate T-27, which indicates a crossing used particularly often by children; a man in a yellow high-visibility jacket is stepping onto the crossing from the right, and a tram is coming from the opposite direction. In this situation you should increase your attention to a degree that allows a sufficiently quick reaction - the answer is YES.
This is how the rules define particular caution, which is required from a tram driver approaching a pedestrian crossing. The pedestrian is already crossing the tracks, so you must give way to him. The tram from the opposite direction may hide pedestrians stepping onto the crossing from the left, and children may run up unexpectedly, so you drive slowly.
