In this situation, are you allowed to enter beyond the signalling device?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo we are driving a tram on tram tracks next to the roadway and approaching tram traffic lights, which are showing a white horizontal bar. In this situation you are not allowed to drive past the signal - the answer is NO.
Signals for tram drivers are white. A vertical bar means that you are allowed to drive past the signal, and a horizontal bar means that you are not allowed to. So you stop the tram before the signal and wait for the vertical bar to light up. The green lights on the traffic lights for cars do not apply to a tram, which has its own signal. On wet rails, start braking earlier so that you stop smoothly.
Legal basis: § 103 and § 104 para. 1 point 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
