In this situation, are you obliged to exercise particular caution?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we are driving a tram through a large junction with traffic lights, where the tracks branch off in different directions, and cars are turning and crossing the tracks. In this situation you are obliged to exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.
At a junction a tram changes direction and drives across pedestrian crossings, and in both situations the Road Traffic Act requires particular caution. At a large junction, drivers turning left cross the tracks and may misjudge the speed of the tram or stop on the tracks. A tram cannot go around an obstacle, so you drive at a speed that will let you stop in time, and you watch vehicles entering the tracks and pedestrians at the crossings.
