In this situation, should the tram driver wait until the pedestrian leaves the crossing?

In the photo a tram has stopped before a pedestrian crossing, and a woman with a bag is walking across it just in front of the tram; the tram traffic lights show a signal that allows the tram to go. In this situation the tram driver should wait until the pedestrian leaves the crossing - the answer is YES.

The driver of a tram is obliged to give way to a pedestrian who is on a pedestrian crossing. A signal that allows the tram to enter does not release the driver from this duty - it does not allow entry if the movement of the tram would make it difficult for pedestrians to leave the roadway. The pedestrian is on the crossing just in front of the tram, so you wait until she has crossed. From the high cab of a tram, a pedestrian walking just in front of the vehicle easily disappears from the field of view, so you move off only when you are sure that the crossing is clear.
