Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo a tram is approaching a pedestrian crossing over the tram tracks and the roadway; at the crossing there is sign D-1, sign D-6 "pedestrian crossing", and under it a yellow plate T-27 with the figure of a child; the traffic lights show green. In this situation you should expect that children often use this crossing - the answer is YES.
Plate T-27 under sign D-6 shows that the pedestrian crossing is used especially often by children. Children do not judge the speed and distance of a tram well, they often run and do not look around. The tram driver, when approaching the crossing, must exercise particular caution and reduce speed so as not to put a pedestrian in danger. At such a crossing you are ready to brake even earlier than usual, remembering the long braking distance of a tram.
