Should you in this place, anticipate cars entering on to the dedicated track?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo we are driving a tram on a dedicated tram track next to the roadway; in the kerb that separates them there is a gap with a crossing over the tracks, and a broken line is painted at this gap. At this place you should expect cars entering the dedicated tram track - the answer is YES.
The gap in the separation of the tram tracks and the road markings show a place where cars may cross the tracks, for example when turning left or making a U-turn. Drivers crossing the tram tracks should let the tram pass, but the tram driver must be ready for someone to enter the tracks in front of the tram after misjudging the distance or speed of the tram. Before such a place you reduce speed and watch the vehicles waiting next to the tram tracks. A tram cannot go around an obstacle, so an early reaction is key.
