In this situation, do you have the right to continue driving provided you yield the right of way to pedestrians?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, from the cab of a tram, we see a pedestrian crossing before a junction; just before the crossing there is a painted give-way line (linia warunkowego zatrzymania) made of rectangles, and pedestrians are walking across the crossing and the tracks. In this situation you are not allowed to continue driving, even on the condition that you give way to pedestrians - the answer is NO.
The pedestrians are already walking across the crossing and the tracks, so the tram must stop before the give-way line made of rectangles, which shows the place to stop before a pedestrian crossing. You must not drive on, counting on the pedestrians to move out of the way in time. Only when the crossing is clear can you move off.
