Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street with tram tracks on the left, next to which there is a tram stop without a traffic island, and sign A-16 warns of a pedestrian crossing; the tram stops at the stop, and you only stop when you are already next to its doors, while passengers are crossing your lane. You chose the wrong place to stop - you should have stopped before the tram stop, behind the rear of the tram. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires the driver to exercise particular caution when passing a tram stop that is not next to the pavement, and, when the stop has no traffic island and a tram is arriving at it or standing at it, to stop the vehicle in such a place and for such a time as to let pedestrians walk freely to the tram or to the pavement. A car standing level with the doors blocks the passengers' way. You stop before the tram stop, behind the end of the tram, and move off when the pedestrians have left the roadway.
