In this situation, is driving both trams straight on simultaneously permitted?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. No.
Explanation
In the photo we see two trams next to each other under a flyover (viaduct), and in front of them tracks that come so close to each other that the trams will not fit side by side. In this situation the two trams are not allowed to go straight on at the same time - the answer is C.
When tracks are close together or interlaced, the clearance gauges (skrajnia) of two trams overlap, and the sides of trams passing each other at this place could collide. That is why only one tram at a time may drive through such a section, and the other one waits until the section is clear. A speed limit of 5 km/h (answer B) will not prevent a collision, and driving without restrictions (answer A) is dangerous.
