In this situation, when passing next to the tram stop, are you obliged to exercise particular?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo we are driving a tram along a street, a stop line for public transport (linia przystankowa) is painted at the right edge of the roadway, and further on you can see a tram stop. When passing a tram stop, you must exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act requires the driver of a vehicle to exercise particular caution when passing a marked tram stop that is not located next to a footway (droga dla pieszych). Passengers may cross the roadway and the tracks on their way to or from the stop, often in a hurry. The duty applies to every driver, including a tram driver who passes a stop, for example without stopping at it or when passing a tram standing there. You reduce speed and watch pedestrians.
