Are you allowed in this situation to go before the rail vehicle on the left of the road?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, you drive through a junction on a green light and continue along a street with tram tracks running along its left side; sign A-21 "tram" on the right warns of a crossing over the tracks, which further on turn across your roadway. A tram is coming along these tracks from the opposite direction, but it is still far from the place where the tracks cross the road. You may cross in front of it, because you will not force the tram driver to brake. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act gives a rail vehicle right of way regardless of the side it is coming from, but giving way means refraining from moving only if moving would force the other driver to change direction or lane or to change speed significantly. The Regulation on road signs and signals specifies that A-21 warns of a crossing over tram tracks. You go across without delay, judging the distance and speed of the tram - if it were close, you would stop before the tracks.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 2 and Art. 2 point 23 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 10 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
