In this situation, do you have the right of way over a tram?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving through a large junction with traffic lights, where the traffic lights for your lane show green, and on the left, on tracks running across your path, a tram is standing and waiting for its signal. In this situation you have right of way over the tram. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act gives a tram right of way regardless of the direction it comes from, but only where right of way results from the general rules; light signals take precedence over these rules and over signs that regulate right of way. Since you have green, the tram is not allowed to enter and must wait. This does not mean driving blindly: when passing the waiting tram, you check that the tram driver really is standing still, because a tram weighs several dozen tonnes and cannot stop on the spot.
Legal basis: Art. 5 para. 1 and 3 and Art. 25 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 95 para. 1 point 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
