In this situation, are you obliged to signal the intention to turn?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we are driving a tram on tram tracks next to the roadway towards a junction where the tracks turn left; by the track there are signs D-2 "end of priority road" and A-7 "give way". In this situation you are obliged to signal your intention to turn - the answer is YES.
A driver must signal the intention to change direction with the indicator in good time and clearly. A tram turning left at a junction changes its direction, so this obligation applies to it. In addition, sign A-7 requires you to give way to vehicles on the road you are entering. You switch the indicator on early enough and switch it off after the turn.
