Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo a tram is waiting before a junction where the tracks divide; next to the track there are directional tram traffic lights with a plate with an arrow to the right, showing a signal that allows you to go. In this situation, when turning right, you can assume that there will be no collision with other directions of traffic - the answer is YES.
Signals shown by directional tram traffic lights apply to trams going in the directions shown by the arrows on the plate above the lights. A signal allowing entry shown by such lights means that your path does not conflict with other directions of traffic - vehicles and pedestrians whose path you cross have a signal prohibiting entry at that time. Even so, you watch the junction, because someone may drive or walk in against the signals, and a tram needs a long distance to stop.
