In this situation, do you have priority over vehicles travelling on the transverse road?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, a tram is travelling on tracks along a curve towards a street that the tracks cross. Before the roadway there is the sign A-7 "give way" with a pedestrian crossing sign, and cars are driving along the street. In this situation, you do not have right of way over vehicles travelling on the intersecting road - the answer is NO.
The sign A-7 also applies to the tram driver and takes priority over the general rule that a rail vehicle has right of way over other vehicles. So you must let vehicles travelling on the intersecting road go first. You enter only when you will not force anyone to brake, remembering the pedestrians on the crossing.
