In this situation, are you obliged to exercise particular caution?

In the photo, from the cab of a tram, we see tracks in the roadway and a pedestrian crossing just in front of the tram; on the left, in the opposite lane, a van is standing in front of the crossing, and it may hide pedestrians stepping onto the crossing from the left. In this situation you are obliged to exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.

When approaching a pedestrian crossing, the driver of a tram must exercise particular caution, reduce speed so as not to put a pedestrian on the crossing in danger, and give way to them. Particular caution means paying more attention and adjusting your behaviour to the situation so that you can react quickly. The van next to you may hide a pedestrian stepping onto the crossing, so you slow down and watch both pavements.
