Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, you can see a white square board with the number "25‰" and a black area rising from left to right, which is the sign AT-4 "steep climb". This sign warns about a significant climb of the tram track of the value shown on the sign - the answer is YES.
The value of 25 per mille means a rise of 25 m over every 1000 m of track. AT signs are additional warning signs for tram drivers. They are placed on the right-hand side of the track, above the track or between the tracks on the poles of the overhead contact line, 50 to 200 m from the dangerous place, and they oblige the tram driver travelling on that track to exercise particular caution. On a climb, especially with slippery rails, the wheels can easily slip when moving off, so get the sander ready.
