Does this solid line visible on the right permit other vehicles to enter the track?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo we are driving a tram on tracks laid in the roadway; a wide solid line separates the tram tracks from the traffic lane on the right. This solid line does not allow other vehicles to enter the tram tracks - the answer is NO.
A solid line on the roadway means a ban on crossing it and on driving onto it. By separating the tram tracks from the traffic lane, it tells car drivers that they must not enter the tracks at this place. So the tram driver can expect that cars on the right will not enter in front of the tram - which does not release him from watching, because drivers sometimes break the rules. Entering the tram tracks is allowed where the line separating them is broken.
