Does this horizontal marking indicate that the tram driver should expect vehicles that may enter the dedicated track on the right?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo we are driving a tram on tram tracks that run in a curve next to the roadway; on the side of the roadway on the right, the tram tracks are separated by a solid line. This road marking does not show that the tram driver should expect vehicles that may enter the tram tracks from the right - the answer is NO.
The solid line separates the traffic lane from the tram tracks and means that you must not cross it or drive on it. So the markings do not allow cars to enter the tram tracks at this place - such places are marked with a broken line. This does not mean that the tram driver may stop watching the roadway: drivers sometimes break the rules, so you remain careful. However, knowing the road markings lets you predict where vehicles are allowed to enter the tracks and where this would be a breach of the rules.
