In this situation, are you allowed to enter beyond the signalling device?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, we are driving a tram towards a junction; ahead of us there is a pedestrian crossing over the tram tracks, and the tram traffic lights on the right show a white vertical bar. After the crossing, the tracks cross the roadway. In this situation, you have the right to drive beyond the traffic lights - the answer is YES.
A vertical bar on tram traffic lights means permission to drive beyond the traffic lights. However, the permission does not apply when the tram would make it difficult for pedestrians to leave the roadway or when it could not leave the junction before the end of the proceed signal. There are no pedestrians on the crossing, so you may drive on, watching the crossing and the junction. When passing over the crossing and the roadway, watch for pedestrians and vehicles.
