Do these signs always oblige the tram driver to stop, in order to yield the right way?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, a tram is running on tracks in the roadway and approaching a junction; before the junction, next to the track, there is sign A-7 "give way"; cars are driving along the intersecting road. Sign A-7 does not always require the tram driver to stop in order to give way - the answer is NO.
Sign A-7 means that you must give way to vehicles travelling on the priority road, but it does not require a mandatory stop - only sign B-20 STOP gives such an order. If vehicles on the intersecting road would have to brake to let the tram through, you stop and wait. When the road is clear, you may go through without stopping. Before sign A-7, however, you slow down enough to assess the traffic on the intersecting road carefully and, if necessary, stop the tram before the junction.
