Does this speed limit apply to the tram driver?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, you can see a street with tram tracks in the roadway; a tram is running along it, and at the right edge there is the sign A-16 "pedestrian crossing" with the sign B-33 below it, limiting speed to 40 km/h. This speed limit applies to the tram driver - the answer is YES.
The sign B-33 means a ban on exceeding the speed shown on the sign. It applies to every driver of a vehicle, unless a plate under the sign indicates a specific type of vehicle. So a tram running on tracks in the roadway is covered by this limit in the same way as cars. Slowing down before the pedestrian crossing is particularly important here, because a tram has a long braking distance.
