When leaving the depot onto a road, are you obliged to exercise particular caution?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo we see snow-covered tracks at the exit of a depot, leading to a street with car traffic. When leaving the depot onto the road, you are obliged to exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act treats entering a road from a depot with a rail vehicle as joining traffic (włączanie się do ruchu). A driver joining traffic must exercise particular caution and give way to other vehicles and road users. The right of way that a tram has over other vehicles does not apply here. On slippery, snow-covered tracks you move off gently and let the cars driving along the street go first. You also watch pedestrians who may be crossing the tracks at the exit.
Legal basis: Art. 17 para. 1 point 4 and para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
