With this light arrangement, does the tram driver have the right to enter the intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo the tram is standing in front of a junction; the traffic lights for vehicles show green, and the tram traffic lights next to them show a white horizontal bar. With this arrangement of lights, when driving a tram, you do not have the right to enter the junction - the answer is NO.
The tram driver follows the tram traffic lights, which give white signals. A signal in the shape of a horizontal bar means no entry beyond the traffic lights, even though cars have a green light at that time. The green light of the ordinary traffic lights does not apply to the tram when separate tram traffic lights are working at the junction. You stop the tram before the stop line or the traffic lights and wait for the vertical bar to come on, which allows you to enter.
