You are driving a tram. Upon approaching an intersection marked with this sign, are you obliged to yield the right of way to motor vehicles coming from the right side?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, you can see the sign A-5 "crossroads" - a yellow triangle with a black cross. When you drive a tram and approach a junction marked with this sign, you do not have to give way to power-driven vehicles coming from the right - the answer is NO.
The sign A-5 warns about a road junction where right of way is not set by signs. Cars there give way to vehicles coming from the right, but a tram, as a rail vehicle, has right of way over other vehicles regardless of the direction they are coming from. So the right-hand rule does not apply to a tram in relation to cars. However, it does apply between two trams - you must give way to a tram coming from the right. When approaching the junction, you slow down and watch whether car drivers really stop.
