You intend to turn left at this intersection. Are you allowed to go across without exercising particular caution?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, a tram is waiting in front of a junction where a police officer is directing traffic. When you intend to turn left at this junction, you are not allowed to go through without exercising particular caution - the answer is NO.
Even when the person directing traffic allows entry to the junction by standing side-on to the tram, this permission does not free you from caution. The Road Traffic Act states that a driver may change the direction of travel only while exercising particular caution - this also applies to a tram driver turning left. The tram crosses the path of oncoming vehicles and pedestrians, and its body swings out beyond the tracks on a curve. You switch on the indicator, watch the police officer, vehicles and pedestrians, and turn at low speed.
Legal basis: Art. 22 para. 1 and 5 and Art. 5 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 108 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
