In this situation, are you allowed to turn left without stopping?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, we are driving a tram on tracks in the roadway towards a junction with traffic lights. On an overhead arm, next to the traffic lights for cars showing a green light, there are tram traffic lights showing a horizontal bar; cars are coming from the opposite direction. In this situation, you are not allowed to turn left without stopping - the answer is NO.
A horizontal bar means no entry beyond the traffic lights, and the green light for cars does not apply to the tram. So you stop before the traffic lights. Even after the vertical bar comes on, a tram turning at a junction with traffic lights must give way to road users going straight on, which means the cars coming from the opposite direction. The no left turn sign does not apply to a tram travelling along its route.
