In this situation, do you have priority over the passenger car signalling the intention to turn left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, we are driving a tram on tracks that curve next to the roadway. Ahead of us, the tracks cross the roadway, and a passenger car is signalling its intention to turn left. In this situation, you have right of way over this car - the answer is YES.
A rail vehicle has right of way over other vehicles regardless of the direction it is coming from, also when the directions of traffic cross outside a junction. There are no signs or signals here that would change this rule, so the driver of the car must let the tram go first. However, you watch the car carefully and are ready to brake, because not every driver remembers the tram's right of way.
