In this situation, do you have priority over the vehicle approaching from the right side?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, we are driving a tram on tracks running next to the roadway towards a place where the tracks cross a street; next to the tracks there is the sign A-16 "pedestrian crossing", further on the sign D-6 right at the crossing, and a blue van is approaching from the right along an intersecting road. In this situation, you have right of way over the vehicle coming from the right - the answer is YES.
There are no signs or traffic lights here that change right of way. So a tram, as a rail vehicle, has right of way over other vehicles regardless of the direction they are coming from, also outside a junction. The driver of the van must let the tram go first. Even so, you slow down before the pedestrian crossing and are ready to brake in case the van drives onto the tracks.
