In which place can the tram driver let passengers off due to lengthy traffic impediments?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. In a place where there is no risk to passengers and road traffic.
Explanation
This question is about letting passengers off because of long-lasting traffic disruption. The tram driver may do this in a place where there is no danger to passengers or to road traffic - the answer is C.
In the case of a long-lasting disruption, for example a failure of the overhead line or an accident, passengers should not wait in the tram endlessly. The tram driver may let them off outside a stop, but only where they are not at risk of being hit and will not obstruct traffic, for example next to a pavement or platform. Any place at all (answer A) could mean stepping straight out onto a busy roadway, and waiting for a stop regardless of the circumstances (answer B) is too rigid. The Road Traffic Act prohibits opening the doors without making sure that this will not cause danger.
